Maybe I just don't get it.
I know now that the names are saved into e(Row) but where to put it:
mat `var' == (e(Prop)\e(total))
gives me the wanted proportions but with the described rownmaes.
mat rown `var' = e(Row)
is not working.
So where to put the e(Row) to set the rownames. Sorry for the stupid
question, I am not so familiar with setting up the matrices.

Daniel
