    and REMEMBER: if you get stuck, if you are confused about what command to type, if you get a nasty red error code, it is always worth trying to use the "help" and "search" commands.

    For a guide of what these two commands do just download STATA HELP(PDF Document) and STATA SEARCH(PDF Document).
