Re: st: svytotal - saved results in Stata 8.2

[Nick Winter <nw53@cornell.edu>]

-svytotal- is an e-class command.

Type -ereturn list- and you will see what it returns.  (And then -mat 
list e(b) and mat list e(V), or whatever you are interested in.

-return list- is showing you some intermediate results returned by a 
subroutine of -svytotal-.
