Dear Statalist, Is it possible to write a procedure that interacts with the user? To give an example of what I mean, suppose that I could create such an interacting procedure "my_summarize" (in a do file) ending with: sysuse auto my_summarize mpg Now I would like Stata to interact with the user, and want Stata to come up with the following suggestion: Type 1 if you want mean and standard deviation or Type 2 if you want median an interquartile range. Please type either 1 or 2. . Typing 1 or 2 from would now result in either the mean and sd of mpg or its median and iqr. Is such an approach (or some alternative) possible in Stata?
