Sounds like you want something of ths sort:
<script>
function void slide_sample (series y, int max0, int incr, int n)
set messages on # see what's going on more fully
smpl ; max0
loop n
printf "sample mean of y = %g\n", mean(y)
smpl ; +incr
endloop
end function
open denmark.gdt
slide_sample(LRM, obsnum(1984:4), 4, 2)
</script>
In the function slide_sample(), max0 is the initial end-point
of the sample range, incr is the number of observations to
add at each step, and n is the number of steps to take.
