An easier way to do what Stephanie is trying to do avoids having to store and unstore variables in matrices by storing the weighting coefficients as local macros rather than vectors:

local d3 0.1942 0.2809 0.3832 -0.8582
egen FpriceAlt = filter(price), lags(0/-3) coef(`d3')
su F*

This uses -filter()- from the egenmore package (findit egenmore). It could be easily 'motorized' per my last example to operate
over a number of variables and filter lengths.
