Maarten,
Thanks so much for the kind response. I really appreciate it!
I guess I did not make it clear when I asked the question. I was trying to figure out the algorithms to manually derive the standard error for the coefficient estimates. In other words, what are the steps to calculate the standard errors and how to execute them in Stata?
Thanks a lot again,

Is this what you are looking for?
*-------------- begin example ----------
sysuse auto
logit foreign price mpg
matrix V = e(V)
matrix se = vecdiag(cholesky(diag(vecdiag(V))))
matrix list se
*--------------- end example -------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see:

Hope this helps,
Maarten
