Getting started with Stata


{title:Remarks}

{pstd}Stata's Getting Started manual provides a quick introduction to 
Stata. Because of minor differences in the look of Stata across
platforms, there are three Getting Started manuals: one for
Windows -- GSW; one for Mac -- GSM; and one for Unix -- GSU.
