If nothing else, such a program has the advantage of having a memorable name...  :-)

Presumably this happens if you type

exit, clear

but realise that you didn't mean it. Faced with your mild curses, Stata (if it could engage in repartee) would then merely quip that it did what you asked.

I guess you want a command rather than a do-file. Is this something like the command?

program sexit
         version 8.2
         save, replace
         exit
end

It's deliberate that this fails if there is no data in memory because then it fails to do what is intended, -save- data and -exit-.
