font-lock-builtin-face not found?

Patrick:

Actually, that won't work.  I realized that I don't have to have Stata to use 
Stata mode.  So, I tried it out.  The code should have been:

(save-excursion                           ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  (switch-to-buffer "unlikely-name.ado")  ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  (STA-mode)                              ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  (define-key stata-mode-map "_" nil)     ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  (kill-buffer "unlikely-name.ado"))      ;;workaround for ess-smart-underscore
  
However, this doesn't work either.  The reason is that the definition of 
stata-mode-map and it's invocation (use-local-map) are commented out in 
essl-sta.el  Uncommenting them might work.  Give it a try.
