I have what should be a very simple Stata programming question that is
vexing me.
I'm use the debugging command -trace- a lot and am annoyed by having
to type "set trace on" and "set trace off" over and over from the
command prompt. So, I tried to make a simple pair of ado files that
would do that for me but with less typing,

Thus, these "set trace" commands given with the ado files don't seem
to "stick" after the ado file execution is completed.
Advise will be greatly appreciated.
There is always a danger when responding to a message from a computer
on which Stata is not installed, but shouldn't it be possible to assign
the commands "set trace on" and "set trace off" each to a function
key? Granted, I don't think you can make a single F-key toggle the
trace state, but if this works it would be less typing for you. Just a
thought....
