My earlier code, as well as the original code, 
ignored the selection of observations stored in `touse', 
so the Mata function can be better written as:

*------------------ begin code ---------------------
mata:
void makexb(string scalar rhs, string scalar touse)
    {
        real matrix X 
        real rowvector b 
        real colvector Xb
        real scalar idx
        
        X = st_data(., tokens(rhs), touse)
        X = X, J(rows(X), 1, 1)
        b = st_matrix("e(b)")
        Xb = X*b'
        idx = st_addvar("float", "Xb")
        st_store(., idx, touse, Xb)
    }
end
*--------------- end code -----------------

Hope this helps,
Maarten
