Hi Joseph,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately your example has the same problem -- the F and p values
are very slightly different (as can be seen by typing "disp e(F)"
etc).  Furthermore, from reading the -contrast- documentation, I'm not
sure the operators change the overall (joint) test result, just the
values of the contrasts.
Regards,
David.
