Re: st: ladder question

[David Jacobs <jacobs.184@sociology.osu.edu>]

Hi Margaret:

No I don't have a clue.  Sometimes when a 
variable has zero or negative values, "gladder" 
gives you half of the the graphs but I dunno if 
ladder does this.  That's an idea. Try the 
command "gladder [variable name]" instead.

Stop by sometime (I'm almost always here in the afternoons) and lemme see it.
