st: Storing macros after Stata session is closed

[Rachel <academicgirl@gmail.com>]

Is there a way to store local or global variables for use in future
Stata sessions?  I realize that one can simply store the definitions
in a do file, but I'm wondering whether there is a simpler way.  I've
looked in the programming manual, but did not find an answer.

Thanks,
Rachel
