The example below works for me:
*----------- begin example -----------
sysuse auto, clear
logit foreign mpg
predict pr, pr
predict xb, xb
gen pr2 = exp(xb)/(1+exp(xb))
twoway scatter pr pr2, aspect(1)
*----------- end example --------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see

Hope this helps,
Maarten
