Incidentally, a good source for Stata novices is the UCLA Stata Starter Kit:

http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/sk/

An excellent book to buy is Hamilton's Statistics with Stata, updated for 
version 8:

To see how a lifelong SPSS user (me) has gradually picked up a few things 
in Stata, see my Grad Stats I web page at

http://www.nd.edu/~rwilliam/xsoc592/index.html

and look for links with the word "Stata" in them.  Good luck. RW
