st: Frequencies and string variables

[Robin Newberry <wnewber@clemson.edu>]

Here's a dumb newbie question: how do I generate frequencies of 
string variables?

What I have is data with gender coded as "M" or "F", and I want to 
know the relative frequencies. Were I in SAS, I'd use Proc Freq, but 
the same approach doesn't seem to worth with Stata. A little help, 
please?
