st: Program def syntax

Dear statalist
I got a small question regarding the program define syntax. I defined a
program and set its syntax to
syntax varlist [, BY(varlist) MOreoff]
However, I am unable to access the varlist defined in "by". All that
Stata returns to me is that the statement is true, when I try to display
its content with the help of di `by'.
When I put three variables into the by argument Stata returns "1.2". All
reading in the guidelines etc did not help me.
So, which kind of black sorcery is needed to return the variablelist
defined in `by'? :)
All the best,
Johannes
