I really appreciate the responses I've received. I used the mim command with mean, proportion and reg as suggested below and it worked.
Thank you so very much for taking time to share this suggestion with me. It was a huge help.

First off, since you are using multiple imputation you may want to
upgrade to Stata 11. See http://www.stata.com/stata11/mi.html.
2nd, if no one else has any easier ideas, you can often get
descriptive stats using estimation commands, e.g.
mean x
proportion x
reg x
-mean- and -proportion- and -reg- all work with the -mim- command.
