Hi,

I wrote a Stata program which automatically writes StataEditor.sublime-settings file and registers the Stata Automation type library: https://github.com/jh-min/sublime

I think this definitely seems useless to Sublime Text users. But while introducing this awesome package to Stata users who have never used Sublime Text before (thus who have never imagined about external text editors), the biggest barrier to entry was the installation process. So I thought that it might be better to automate the installation process--and did it.

After getting StataEditor and Pywin32 via Package Control, to run Stata (as Administrator) and execute sublime will finish the setup process. I tested this with Stata14/15.1 in Windows 10, also with portable and installed version of Sublime Text.

Thank you for the astonishing package, StataEditor made my life a lot better.
