st: re: do-file editor- differences between Stata 9 and 10

I am in the habit of running parts of do-files by highlighting
sections of the file and clicking run.
This worked in Stat 9 IC on my Mac, but doesn't in Stata 10.  I don't
see anything in preferences to help regain that function...  any advice?

I put this question to Stata Tech Support last night after a rather  
frustrating evening. Not only does the icon button (which does turn  
to 'do selected lines') not ALWAYS work, but the keyboard shortcut  
daisy-shift-D does not ALWAYS work either. I say ALWAYS because it  
sometimes does work as advertised, and sometimes does not. Very  
annoying, but I'm sure StataCorp will soon squash this bug.

On the other hand, the iPhone works beautifully...
