I am using Intercooled Stata 8, and am running into the problem of too many
variables. The set is very large, but I only need about a quarter of the
variables, but I cant drop any variables until stata reads them in and
defines the variables. Is there a way to drop some variables before stata
defines them? Upgrading to SE is not really an option.

syntax work?
Joseph Coveney
use filename [, clear nolabel ]
use [varlist] [if exp] [in range] using filename [, clear nolabel ]
