Thanks, but no, Jeff, I did not type version 7 at any point. In the
space of two commands, output went to gr7 and the new graphics window.
Please try it for yourself on a machine running OS X and the latest
Stata 8/SE. My other question still stands as well.
Here again:
. version
version 8
. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
.kdensity length <-- goes to gr7 output
. tw kdensity length <-- goes to new graphics output
Finally, verinst indicates no problems, and I've updated to the latest
version.

And Jeff said,
I'll address David's comment/question about -kdensity-.
David's example strongly suggests that something like
. version 7
was typed interactively in his Stata 8 session. This can be quickly
verified
by typing
. version
interactively. The output from entering the -version- command without
arguments is the version (control) that Stata is currently operating
under.
