Carlo,

Thanks for the reply.  I tried the first command and it seems to work.
 It provided me with coefficients and std. errors.  I'm assuming that
the "robust cluster (var)" option takes into account the repeated
measures and adjusted the SE accordingly.  Thanks a heap for your
help... though. I'm still wondering where I was going wrong with the
anova command.
