st: Calculate average elements matrix (below the diagonal )

Hi:
I would like to calculate the average absolute correlations of a
correlation matrix. E.g.,
sysuse auto
corr price mpg rep78
mat A = r(C)
mat list A
This returns the following three correlations below the diagonal:
-.45594895 .00655327 .40234039
Specifically, I would like to: obtain the average absolute values of the
below-diagonal elements:
i.e., dis (abs(-.45594895) + abs(.00655327) + abs(.40234039))/3
Thanks!
J.
