st: How to calculate unconditional expected value after tobit

Hi, all,
I am wondering how I can use the "margins" command after "tobit"
to calculate the unconditional expected value.
"margins X" gives the expected value of the latent variable，
E[y^*|X]. "margins X, predict(ystar(0,.))" gives conditional exception
of the censored dependent variable, E[y|X, y>0]. But what I want is
E[y|X].
Thanks in advance for any help.
