st: Obtaining adjusted values from a regression

["David Fisher" <djfisher81@msn.com>]

Hi all!
This is probably a really basic question but my brain's not working too well 
today...
I want to obtain values for a particular variable ("x") after adjustment for 
another variable ("y"), so that the new variable ("adjusted x") no longer 
varies with "y".
After typing "regress x y", giving the equation xhat=a+b*y, I think I need 
to obtain the variable x-b*y.  Is this correct, and is there a way to obtain 
this variable without copy-pasting the regression coefficient into a "gen" 
command?
Thanks,
David Fisher.
