hi,

i am running that looks like:

foreach S in fa sp ts {
	if [the macro S] ~="ts" {
		-- extra commands --
	}
}

that is, i'm performing a set of commands once for the "fa" string, once
for "sp", and once for "ts".  my problem: i can't figure out how to refer
to the macro `S' and have stata realize that i'm referring to the macro
`S' and not a variable named S or "fa", etc...

is there a way to write this so that i can test whether the macro S is
equal to a given string fa, sp, or ts ?

thank you very much!
Chris
