The -pcontract- package is superseded by -xcontract-. Users are therefore 
advised to download -xcontract- and not -pcontract-.

-xcontract- can do a bit of primitive displaying, using its -list()- 
option. However, as Nick says, any more complicated display is up to the 
user, and some ways to proceed are detailed in the Stata Journal issues 
referred to by Nick, and also in .pdf papers documents downloadable from my 
website (see my signature).
