Re: st: Re: saving memory local vs usual variable

["Martin Weiss" <martin.weiss1@gmx.de>]

Anything that -su-, possibly with the -detail-, option throws up can be 
strored this way.

                 r(N)
             r(sum_w)
              r(mean)
               r(Var)
                r(sd)
          r(skewness)
          r(kurtosis)
               r(sum)
               r(min)
               r(max)
                r(p1)
                r(p5)
               r(p10)
               r(p25)
               r(p50)
               r(p75)
               r(p90)
               r(p95)
               r(p99)


Apart from that, also note commands like -collapse-...

BTW, what is the second mode?

HTH
