st: Saving frequencies for r X c tables

[Mike Lacy <Michael.Lacy@ColoState.EDU>]

As part of a larger project, I'm trying to write a program to generate a 
bootstrap distribution for the cell frequencies in an  r X c table. That 
is, for each bootstrap subsample, I want to save these results in a data 
file.  I think I'm OK with the specifically bootstrapping aspects of tghis 
problem, but I'm stumped as to how to get frequencies into a matrix or set 
of variables that I can post to a bootstrap results file.  Can someone 
offer a suggestion or example here or point me to some documentation?
 The sort of results  tabulate produces would be fine, but I can't see any 
save option or return list that is relevant. I've scoured the other table 
commands, with no luck, so I must be missing something. As I'm sure is 
obvious,  I am quite a neophyte in programming Stata, so I'd appreciate 
suggestions that recognizes my limitations <grin> .

Regards,
