st: list x matrix

Very simple question, but I couldn't find the answer in the STATA documentation.
I have a list
local var "x1 x2 x3 ...."
and a 1 x n matrix (vector)
b = (b1 b2 b3 ..)
How do I compute the new variable
z = b1*x1 + b2*x2 + b3*x3 + ...
I mean I know how to do that by writing the sum, there just has to be
a better way of doing this.
Also, what it is the best place to figure out this stuff?
Thanks.
Richard
