Not so sure: I tried the example in
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2010-05/msg00801.html on a windows
machine, and nothing untoward happened to me there. So more information from
those who have suffered from this problem is required, including (but not
limited to) the output of the -update- command.

My guess is that this is a Stata for Windows-specific problem. The do-file
editor in Windows has a number of bells and whistles not present in other
versions of Stata. The "find" dialog in Mac OS X do-file editor has a
'replace all' button, but it behaves as expected in a do-file containing
multiple instances of, e.g., hh.
