DataFerrett is a program that you download and
install on your computer.  It then downloads
extracts of whatever data you want.  This
procedure is well within the capabilities
of anybody who has completed Stata 1, 2, and 3.
Request your data in the "comma delimited"
format and import it as "created by a
spreadsheet."  Stata gets the variable
names from the downloaded file so you
do not have do any typing.
