Excellent, thanks.

Rense writes "the superscripts end up too far from the other characters"  
but I have not found that, it looks just right for me, perhaps we use  
different fonts or different font sizes:

For the record, here is the amended code for powers of 10:

local vallabel = ""
forval x = `expmin'(`expstp')`expmax'{
    local y = 10^`x'
    local vallabel =  `"`vallabel'`y' "10{superscript:`x'}" "'
}

where one previously defines, say:

   local expmin = 2
   local expstp = 1
   local expmax = 7

The rest of the code is as posted on Rense's blog.
