d == 1 & d == 1 can be simplified to d == 1 Otherwise I don't know a shorter way to write that. StataCorp could invent dozens of functions that would only be used occasionally, and this is I guess one function they did not invent. You are correct that there is a -rany()- function in -egenmore-, but -ral()- is still a typo. Please explain _where_ user-written programs that you refer to come from.
