Quite possibly, but I meant I didn't invent that example either.

I guess Philipp was more concerned about the " `=_N+1' " part of the
-set
obs- statement which he may have snapped up in your post:

Stata doesn't have "headers". I don't know what you mean here, the first
observation or the variable information shown in the Editor. 

I don't usually add extra rows -- Stata terminology is observations --by
copy and paste, but I just tried it from an application called MS Excel
which I found on my Windows machine. 

1. Typed one observation with 1 2 3 into Stata Editor. 

2. Typed one row with 3 4 5 into said MS Excel. 

3. Copied that row and pasted it into new row in Editor. Worked fine. 

No need for anything by way of -set obs-, which by the way I am sure I
didn't invent!

Tried set obs `=_N+1'.  It does create an extra row but when I use the
editor to paste into it, nothing pastes into that row. It goes to
replace the header!!!
