Thanks Martin and Richard,
I am thinking of using the relogit command, but I am wondering how i
could do so, while incorporating complex sampling design
specifications.
Should I just svyset my data and then run the relogit OR
should I just use the relogit command, but specify the weight option
on the command. Even if I do this, there is no way to specify the
strata or the sampling unit commands directly, so would my model be
estimated correctly?
thanks for all your help.

It isn't hard to add svy support to a program. For example, my oglm
program includes the following line:
program oglm, eclass byable(recall) sortpreserve properties(swml svyr
svyb svyj or irr rrr hr eform)
I believe the program also has to allow iweights. See -help program-
and -help program_properties-. Whether there is some reason this
would be an awful idea with -relogit- or impossible to do, I don't
know. If you are going to try to do your own programming, you may
also wish to take a look at
http://www.stata.com/bookstore/mle.html (see especially chapter 11
on survey data anlysis)

Whenever you do alter someone else's program, it is a good idea to
rename it so the original and revised program do not get confused.
