st: Re: increasing review window buffer size & ado wrapper for simultaneous log and cmdlog

["Rosy Reynolds" <rr@dandr.demon.co.uk>]

For the size of the review window bufffer, the answer is yes - at least in 
Stata 9.
- set scrollbufsize # -
The default size is 32,000, and you can increase this up to a maximum of 
500,000.
I don't remember if this feature was also available in Stata 8.
