Dear Statalisters,

I would like to subset a -return- matrix.  In the past I used two
steps but now hope to upgrade to the 1-step solution, if it exists?

Thanks,
Bert


*** Example: using tabstat just to produce some r(matrix) to play with

tabstat foreign turn weight length headroom, stat(mean sd q) save
return list

mat list r(StatTotal)

*** Say I want the first 3 rows and 2 columns of this matrix.  Can the
following be done in a single step?

mat A = r(StatTotal)
mat A = A[1..3,1..2]

mat list A

*** Obviously this generates a syntax error
mat B = r(StatTotal)[1..3,1..2]
