Re: st: referencing eresult matrices

[Jeph Herrin <junk@spandrel.net>]

Thanks, but as the subject line says, I want to
reference e(matrix) directly - I just gave one
example. I've been using the below method for years,
so I hardly think about it anymore, but every once
in a while wonder if there's a shorter way.

cheers,
J
