Thank you very much.  I will incorporate this into my startup routine.  If
there were a suggestion box for Stata 10, however, I would put this in it.

No; I don't think so. But you can write your own command wiring this in.  

program mylist
	version 8 
	syntax [varlist] [if] [in] [, abbrev(int 16) * ] 
	list `varlist' `if' `in', abbrev(`abbrev') `options' 
end 

You can even allow abbreviations: 

program myl
	version 8 
	mylist `0' 
end 

program myli
	version 8 
	mylist `0' 
end 

program mylis
	version 8 
	mylist `0' 
end
