Greetings,
Am I the only one who misses the fact that Stata 7 (and prior I think)
would put the full syntax of the graph command in the review window,
whenever you type just "graph" to redisplay the most recent graph?
If so, any chance, StataCorp, that it might come back?
That was an easy way to get the latest graph command back (in order to
edit it further), rather than scrolling back through the review window
looking for it. (Although with the much much slower -graph-, it's
probably now worth the time to find the command, rather than simply
re-issuing it...)
