st: Generate new var - sum of multiple var

Hello everyone,
I have a 4 questions survey(q1, q2, q3, q4). Each one of the 4
questions can either be answered by 1 or by 0.
I'd like to generate a new variable(new_var) holding, for every
participants, the number of question they answered with the value 1.
In other word, the sum of the 4 questions.
new_var would then hold values from 0 to 4
Any suggestions ?
Jonathan
