Thanks, but no, Jeff, I did not type gr 7 at any point. Why would one
command go to gr7 output and another to the new graphics window if I
did in two command lines? 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.
