A not very elegant solution is to loop over the elements of a varlist
and build the matrix that way:
*------------- begin example ----------------
clear
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/auto
generate weight2 = weight^2
generate weight3 = weight^3
reg mpg price weight*
mat save = e(b)
local i = 1
foreach var of varlist weight* {
if `i' == 1 {
local `i' = `i' + 1
mat mybetas = save[1,"`var'"]
}
else {
mat mybetas = mybetas \ save[1,"`var'"]
}
}
mat list mybetas
*------------------ end example --------------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see

Hope this helps,
Maarten
