Good point. My example failed to say that I have about 100 explanatory variables. This line
gen xb2 = _b[_cons] + -.35*mpg + _b[weight]*weight
is cumbersome in my case - but I' ll think about whether I can automate it in a loop.
Thanks for your suggestion!

How about something like this:
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. qui logit fore mpg weight
. gen xb2 = _b[_cons] + -.35*mpg + _b[weight]*weight
. gen prob2 = exp(xb2)/(1 + exp(xb2))
