-mat2txt- also has a -title()- option. So type

mat2txt, matrix(m3) saving(tabodds) append title("`val'")

I read the Stata help and found a partial solution to my problem: matrix list m3, title("`val'") . The title is displayed on the screen within the loop. However, I don't get it in the final matrix which is exported to a tab-delimited file through -mat2txt- (downloadable from ssc).
