Re: st: Table output, how to get percent of row total?

[Elizabeth Allred <lizard@hsph.harvard.edu>]

I agree with Phil on this although I'm not so much worried that I don't 
get a publication-ready table as I am that I have to use different 
commands to get what are essentially different displays of the same 
basic table. Would love to see one table command with options that would 
do it all.
