David and Jean
Thank you both for your suggestions. Both worked for me. I did
find that for my purposes using David's approach was a bit better
since that way I can call the scalars again later in the program
even after the the loop for scatter is done.
I must confess I would never have figured out David's solution
which is exactly what I needed. I'd like to learn how to think of
things like the `=foo' bit which is pure magic to me. I did get
to trying scalar(`x'1) and even thought of using xline(display `x'1),
but the idea of using `=' in the xline option never even came to me.
Is there a place where one can read up things like the '=' bit?
Sorry if this is too pesky or too general.
Again thanks, you have both been a great help!
