st: Re:'Wildcard with exceptions' syntax

[Kit Baum <baum@bc.edu>]

Kelvin wants to use a wildcard list and remove a couple of elements  
from the list. The list macro functions are useful in that regard:

webuse auto,clear
tab rep78,g(RR)
unab rnames: RR*
local dontwant RR2 RR4
local rnames1 : list rnames - dontwant
di "`rnames1'"
su `rnames1'
