Given that it's Friday afternoon, I'll continue following myself up
and let you all know I found the answer by trial and error and now
have the following code in profile.do:
if "$S_MODE" != "batch" {
set memory 100m
}
This allows me to set memory on a "stata -m200 -b do dofile.do"
shell command and not have it overridden by profile.do.
Query: is there any reason to prefer one or other of "$S_VARNAME" and
c(VARNAME)?
