You might find John Hendrickx's program -desmat- helpful (-search  
desmat-).  In addition to offering several features that -xi- does  
not, the accompanying command -desrep- can be used to generate a  
table of coefficients in which the various contrasts are labeled  
using the value labels assigned to the original variables.
