Kit,
Are you typing this in at the command line, or is it in a do-file?
I tried it both interactively and from a do-file and it worked fine
interactively, but not from the do-file.
The manual ([U] (Stata8) p173) states that...
"The /* */, //, and /// comment indicators can be used in do-files
and ado-files only; you may not use them interactively."
