As Kit points out, B. Water's failure to reproduce
what I typed accounts for their failure to
reproduce what I posted.
In addition to this diversion, note that if the problem
is picking up a sum for future use, then -tabstat- is
a long way round.
tempname foosum
su foo, meanonly
scalar `foosum' = r(sum)
is more direct, with no hidden interpreted code,
as in -tabstat-.
