Hello,

My objective is to save the ado files that I create and the ones that I 
retrieve from ssc in the same main directory (D:\Stata). This will make it 
easier when I make back ups of data.

I am trying to understand how the paths shown below are used by Stata. I 
noticed that "c:\ado\plus/" stores ado files that are retrieved from ssc. 
Can I change this path to D:\Stata\ado\plus? How would I do it?

Also, should I change the other ado paths that appear in the list above, if 
I want all "my stuff" in D:\Stata?

What about the other paths? What are  Personal and Old Place used for?

  [6]  (PLUS)      "c:\ado\plus/"
  [7]  (OLDPLACE)  "c:\ado/"
  [8]              "D:\STATA\Adofiles"

Any reference or explanation about this would be greatly appreciated.

Claude
