statsby saving to a frame?

[Dave Airey]

Statsby has the options of clearing your data or saving out to a .dta file. It would be nice if it had the option of saving to a frame. One can get around this by creating a temporary file, saving to that, then creating a frame and using the temporary file data to that frame.

I don't get the logic of "saving to a frame". For me, frames just allows you to run parallel sessions. If you want to hold the results from statsby in a frame, just copy the current frame into a new frame just before running the statsby command and then execute the command in that frame without saving.

I like this response! Thank you for sharing. I was just starting to use frames and this makes good sense.
