Well, I just did the exact same thing in Stata 8.2, so I suspect this has 
been around a while and you just now noticed!  I did have to use 
shift-insert rather than right click-paste or ctrl-v, so maybe that has 
changed, i.e. paste commands that are normally interchangeable are not so 
in Stata 8.2, maybe they are in 9.

I encounter the same problem in 8.2.  You can edit before hitting enter, 
i.e. get rid of the // and combine the lines.  Also, I think you are 
missing a comma.
