prefix?

                Hi,

                This should be an easy one -

                I have a lot of variables in a large dataset all with the
same prefix,
                i.e., plvthismo plvthatmo etc.

                How do I keep all these variables (keep= )  without having
to type out
                all
                the names individually?
