st: to write _n in [./.] form

Dear All
I have to calculate a variable in this way
gen awc_4=1 if awc[_n]==1 & awc[_n+1]!=1 & awc[_n+2]!=1 & awc[_n+3]!=1 &
awc[_n+4]!=1
and on basis of the above variable, generate a new variable of average
gen rgg3avgf=( rgg[_n]+ rgg[_n+1]+ rgg[_n+2])/3 if awc_4[_n-1]==1
Is there a way to write the above commands in short form ( like, _n/_n+3) as
for other variables I've to include more terms in calculation of awc_3y and
also for higher term in averages.
Thanks in advance
ajjee
