These data sets can also be opened directly from within Stata on any computer that is connected to the Internet.  For example, the Stata command

.use http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/dupontwd/wddtext/data/1.3.2.Sepsis.dta

will open the 1.3.2.Sepsis data set directly over the web.  When opening a Stata data file in this way you must be careful to capitalize the web address and data file name correctly.
