st: Line wrapping w/o the ">"

[Brian Karfunkel <briank07@stanford.edu>]

Hello all,

Is there any way to either a) stop Stata from inserting the ">" 
character at the beginning of lines wrapped from the previous line, or 
else b) copy text from the viewer without those characters, and as one 
whole line?

For example, I have a program that runs a bunch of regressions that 
differ slightly in the command line, and a few of them are having 
problems. I use -di `"`e(cmdline)'"'- to output the command line that 
generates each regression after the reg is run, so I can go back and see 
precisely which regression is causing problems, and then I can 
investigate further. I would like to be able to copy the command line 
(from the viewer or from a log) and paste it into an interactive session 
of Stata (v. 11), and then play around with it there. But it's annoying 
to have to go through and delete all the hard line breaks that Stata put 
in when I originally displayed the long string, in addition to the ">".

Also, is it possible to tell Stata to wrap by word, so it doesn't cut 
varnames in half?

Thanks for your help,
Brian
