No--don't use the weight option in -bsample-. If you want to do it
the quick-n-dirty way, save the relevant subset of data, -use- and
resample with -bsample- (unweighted resample) then do weighted
estimation on each draw using the original sample weights (the N
totals will be wrong in each resample, but this is likely not a big
deal, depending on what you want)--or ask Stas Kolenikov (see also
http://ideas.repec.org/p/boc/nsug08/19.html or find him in DC this
week or next) about the right way (if you resample you are supposed to
redo all the weights and poststratification etc. for each draw).

However, I am now worried per your comment: I understand that bsample changes the values of the weight variable to be 0,1,2, etc. to indicate how many times this obs. is chosen in the sample BUT i thought it was doing the selection based on the original values of the weights. If this is not so the clearly my code is not doing what I thought it was (else its ok). My code is given below (your thoughts would be appreciated).
