Dear stata-listers,

I'm not understanding the syntax for setting graph titles in Stata 8.2. The command 

. twoway (scatter i21_65m year), title ("Death") 
returns the error message
	unmatched quote

There's an easy work-around: 
. twoway (scatter i21_65m year), title ("Death"")

creates the correct graph! But this is hardly intuitive ... any comments?

My data is just as follows:

. list

     +----------------+
     | year   i21_65m |
     |----------------|
  1. | 1988       789 |
  2. | 1989       789 |
  3. | 1990       771 |
  4. | 1991       729 |
  5. | 1992       743 |
     |----------------|
  6. | 1993       726 |
  7. | 1994       652 |
  8. | 1995       603 |
  9. | 1996       549 |
 10. | 1997       505 |
     |----------------|
 11. | 1998       503 |
 12. | 1999       481 |
     +----------------+

Thanks for any help with this.
