In the output you show r(se) is clearly identified as a matrix and not
as a macro. So if you want to get hold of the standard errors you have
to use matrix commands not macro commands. Have a look at
-help matrix-. I find it often helpfull to first create a copy of the
matrix using a more conventional name, e.g. -matrix se = r(se)-, and
than work with the matrix se instead of r(se).
