Can I name a list of variables in stata, so that I can
use that label instead of typing variable names in
commands?

i.e. spec 1 = x y z ....

regress spec1
This is done using the Stata macro language, in the online help for -macro-. The -unab- command is very useful. In Stata, type -whelp unab- to find out more about -unab-.

Hope this helps.
