I endorse this suggestion.
Another option is just to split the do-file into smaller
do-files.
Do-files can call other do files, so you can have
a hierarchy:
--------------- project.do
do getdata
do analyse
do writethesis
do gettenuredjob
do getnobel
---------------
----------------- getdata.do
use whatever
...
