Say you write a program calls "bencommands"
program define bencommands
sum income if transport = "`1'"
sum income if transport = "`2'"
sum income if transport = "`3'"
sum income if transport = "`4'"
end
if you then write:
bencommands car bus train bicycle
then you program will run and do
sum income if transport = "sum"
sum income if transport = "bus"
sum income if transport = "train"
sum income if transport = "bicycle"
If you want something more sophisticated you'll have to refer to the
course materials in NC151 and NC152.

Hi,
I am trying to write a program that
first executes some commands,
then asks the user for input,
and then processes the user input and executes some more commands.
I tried to do something with dialogs but I cannot get the program to
wait for the user input.
Does someone know how to write a program that asks for user input and
then continues? (It does not have to be with dialogs; command line
input would be fine too.)
