st: Macro substitution in Mata

[Partha Deb <partha.deb@hunter.cuny.edu>]

Hello all,

I'm trying to create a number of matrices in Mata ordered, e.g., x1, x2, 
..., x7.  I'd like to set up a loop to create these.  If these were Stata 
objects, I could do them quite easily, e.g., I might write something like

forvalues i=1/7 {
	gen x`i' = `i'
	}

but I can't seem to figure out how to do something similar within Mata.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Partha
