st: RE: RE: Histogram of a variable after running a regression

["Radwin, David" <dradwin@rti.org>]

I should have pointed out that the penultimate line should be 

	histogram `v' if e(sample), name(`v', replace)

if you wish to restrict the histogram to observations in the sample used in the regression (which is probably a good idea).
