First off, since you are using multiple imputation you may want to 
upgrade to Stata 11.  See http://www.stata.com/stata11/mi.html.

2nd, if no one else has any easier ideas, you can often get 
descriptive stats using estimation commands, e.g.

mean x
proportion x
reg x

-mean- and -proportion- and -reg- all work with the -mim- command.
