st: a very basic question about "correlate"

[Kenley Barrett <kenley.barrett@gmail.com>]

Apologies in advance for a very simple question: Does the "correlate"
command give a "correlation coefficient"? The manual refers to it
providing a "correlation matrix"--is this the same thing as a matrix
of correlation coefficients?

Thank you very much for any help that anyone can offer.
