Nice little question. Note that you will need some programing skills to do
something usefull by editing such files. You should definitelly not edit
Ados directely.
I propose to proceed as follows.
(1)
Type
. which <command>
to find the place were the specific ado-file for <command> is stored on your
computer.
(2)
Copy the respective file <command.ado> to <mycommand.ado> into your personal
ado-directory, which is most likely "c:/ado/personal"
(3)
Open "c:/ado/personal/<mycommand.ado>" with a text editor (Emacs, for example)
(4)
Change the line
program command
at the very beginning of <mycommand.ado> to
program mycommand
(5)
Edit whatever you like.
Hope this helps
