Dear Walt,

Perhaps this is what you were originally planning to do?

//------------------------------------------------------------
clear
matrix A=1

local names : rownames A
gen names=""
forvalues i=1/`: word count `names'' {
  replace names=`"`: word `i' of `names''"' in `i'
}
//------------------------------------------------------------

Best regards,
   Sergiy Radyakin
