Leonelo,
there was a bug in the uploaded version. I've already sent the corrected file to Kit, as soon as he will make the corrected version available, I will announce this on Statalist. I expect this to happen within the next few hours.
Sincerely,
Dankwart

> General description (updated):
> rfl resembles a most recently used files list (called MRU in other Windows

> files. Every file opened with rfl is added to the list of recently used
> files.
> In addition, the user is allowed to set the memory allocated to Stata,
> to attach a short description to each file opened, and to open appropriate
> log and cmdlog files, if she wishes so. If data are present in memory at

> time rfl is called, the user may save and close open files from within
> rfl's dialog. In addition, rfl can place its own menu under Stata's User
> menu

> -rfl- supports file names of any length, even in Stata's non-SE
> Intercooled. Stata 8.2 is needed. Version 3.0 runs on all platforms.
