I don't think that is what was described at all -- it appears he is just doing what the -adjust- command does, but manually, and is wondering if it is an OK approach. I would just recommend using -adjust-.

If I understand you right, you're looking for a quicker way to mean-center
your independent variables.

If I am, then try Ben Jann's -center- routine, downloadable from SSC:

. findit center

and take it from there. Hope that helps.
