RE: st: meta command and _result( )

["b. water" <barleywater@hotmail.com>]

joanna,

you need to be careful using the meta command as there are couple of 
versions (possibly more) of it that's available. that said, those six could 
be effect size, lower and upper confidence intervals, standard errors, 
sample size, and weights.

regards,
bw
