st: conditional marginal effects after the Heckman two-step sample selection model in STATA 11

Dear Sir or Madam,
In trying to calculate the marginal effects in the context of the
Heckman two-step sample selection model, I am not clear on the new
procedure in STATA 11. In STATA 10, "mfx, predict (ycond) varlist (x)"
would produce the marginal effects that are different than the
coefficients estimated in the outcome equation. In STATA 11 "margins,
dydx (x)" I get the same values as the coefficients of the outcome
equation. The lambdas are statistically significant; however, STATA
does not adjust the marginals to take in account the conditional effect.
I have tried to add the "predict ycond" option after margins, dydx
(x), but STATA 11 does not recognize this command "margins, dydx (x)
predict (ycond)". What is a specific command or option to deal with
the conditional marginal effects in the Heckman two-step sample
selection model?
Thank you,
Norbert
