Re: st: create keyboard shotcuts on Apple Mac

[Michael McCulloch <mm@pinest.org>]

In my case, I use the Stata built-in editor, in which case 
shift-apple-d works every time to run a line; you only have to 
highlight one character within the line, which saves keystrokes.

While giving up the color-highlighting of other text editors, I'm 
also avoiding the complexity of non-Stata editors on the Mac which I 
haven't yet solved... (namely, getting them to integrate with stata 
for running lines!).
