Hi Tashi,
In addition to the requirement that you read the FAQ and try searching for answers in the manuals, your response indicates that you didn't bother to look "in" the stored matrix but instead just looked "at" it. As well as reading the documentation that Nick recommended, I would also suggest reading the documentation regarding how to use matrices in Stata. What you were commenting about is correct, you saw the dimensions of the matrix that you are interested in. Had you entered:
mat li e(b)
You would have displayed the information in the matrix rather than the dimension of the matrix.
