I have written a routine to examine nonresponse bias based on a second,
unbiased "double sample."  My output currently looks like this, an admix
of two "summ" commands and a bunch of numbers that the program calculates:

-> state = PA

sex

Sample 1:

    Variable |       Obs        Mean    Std. Dev.       Min        Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
         sex |     24824    1.038471    .1923339          1          2

Sample 2:

    Variable |       Obs        Mean    Std. Dev.       Min        Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
         sex |       580    1.077586    .2677502          1          2

Double sample mean for variable sex is 1.0623649
Associated standard error is .00680798

Estimated bias of single sample estimator is -.02389403
Estimated standard error is .00122073
Estimated RMSE is .02392519

Relative efficiency of double sample estimator (ratio to one sample RMSE):
0.28

Corresponding sample size for same MSE with one sample, 100% response:
1255

	What I would prefer to do is synthesize this information in a
"nice" table of my own construction (since I have many variables).  I seem
to remember somewhere about how to get command of output editing; but
other than a program for making tables of regression coefficients, I have
been unable to find any other instructions or examples....

	Thanks in advance,
