Shocking 2 variables at the same time - possible?

Hi guys,
I'm working on a rather typical 2-country DSGE model (with intermediate sector).

I'm trying to shock the system in a non-conventional way. Specifically, I'd like to shock the endowment of both goods (the home commodity and the foreign commodity) at the same time.

Is this possible in Dynare? I know that shocking each of them separately is easy (and I did it with no problem) but both at the same time?
Thanks!

You are talking about perfectly correlated shocks. See http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2574
