Thanks Maarten. Your suggestion seems to do the trick:

nlcom exp(81 * squared + 9 * linear + constant) / ///
(1 + exp(81 * squared + 9 * linear + constant)) / ///
exp(4 * squared + 2 * linear + constant) / ///
(1 + exp(4 * squared + 2 * linear + constant))

The above code gives the expected RRR for 9 vs. 2 on the scale. However, I was a bit disappointed with the statistical power. A linear combination (-lincom-) for the odds ratio was significant with p=.007 but the RRR was far from significant with p=.666.

I guess this is one reason why RRRs are seldom reported with this kind of models.
