Thanks much Joe, that is very helpful.  As Nick Cox suggested earlier, a 
simpler way of getting the residuals using observations rather than 
covariate patterns may be via the use of the -glm- command, e.g.

glm foreign mpg, link(logit) f(binomial)
predict glmdev, dev

I haven't tried it using other residual calculations, but this particular 
command gives me the same results as SPSS.
