At 10:47 4-4-2003, you wrote:
test avgspring = deltaspring
test avgcrsgpa = deltacrsgpa, accum
test avgfrstsem  = deltafrstsem, accum

and it is OK for a few variables, however, I need to do this for many more
variables so my question is, CAN THIS BE AUTOMATED (can i repeat myself
without running mad).
local i=0
foreach origvars of varlist spring crsgpa frstsem  {
        if `i'==0 test avg`origvars' = avg`origvars'
        else         test avg`origvars' = avg`origvars' , accum
        local i = `i' + 1
}

should do the trick I think.
