Kit,
thanks for this. Your solution amounts to running -total- for each var and
gathering the results in a -matrix-. But what is your take on the underlying
question whether a) the default behavior of -total- should be what it is and
b) whether there should be a tick box in -db total- which lets me opt out of
the current default behavior?

Martin complains that -total- (like -mean-, presumably) performs
listwise deletion (unlike, say, -summarize-). To get around this:
--------------
clear all
sysuse auto
local mw price mpg rep78
foreach v of local mw {
qui total `v'
mat b = nullmat(b),e(b)
mat en = nullmat(en), e(_N)
}
mat list b
mat list en
