st: estimating data for a given correlation coefficient

[Donald Spady <dspady@ualberta.ca>]

Dear all
  I want to create some datasets of, say 200 observations, with defined 
correlations.  How do I go about doing it.  I could not find anything in 
Stata FAQ or the manuals.  Is it possible to do this within Stata.
  Many thanks.
