Thanks again Kit and Richard, for your ideas. I understand that I cannot talk about precision of the estimates at each point of observation but once I get the estimates I can plot them against the values of the variable and look at the pattern. This is important because I have a reason to believe that the marginal effects will be different at high and low values of the regressor and the AME or the marginal effect at mean do not help me to verify this possibility.

The old -adjust- command has been superceded by -margins-. Given
that -adjust- has a generate option, I wonder why -margins- does not?
Personally, I wish -adjust- had been updated for Stata 11. -margins-
may be able to do most of the same things, but the command can be a
little overwhelming -- adjust was pretty straightfoward.
