Giulio:
In most cases I would not append it to the e(b) matrix since than the e(b) and e(V) (Variance
Covariance matrix) no longer match. If it is a matter of storing coefficients in one matrix you
could make a new matrix (call it b) and append the e(b) vector with the r(b) vector like in the
example below. You could also have a look at Roger Newson's -parmest- which might help store the
estimates in a seperate dataset. This can be helpful if you want to graph them. This is the all
the advice I can give you, since you don't tell us what you want to do with the estimates.

HTH,
Maarten

*------------begin example--------------
sysuse auto, clear
logit foreign mpg 
nlcom or: exp(_b[mpg])
matrix b = e(b),r(b)
matrix list b
