Just giving the survey package a spin...

I'm accustomed to stata, and it seems very similar in many respects. One
thing is throwing me, however.

I've gotten my data in, and specified the design. Looks like the weighting
is right (based on published population estimates from these data), but now
I'd like to check my "marginal means" for proportions against those that
have been published.

I'd think that "svyratio" would do the trick, but one needs to specify both
the numerator and the denominator... I'm looking for a simple ratio of males
to females, and this is eluding me. I can't just use a "1" as the
denominator, and I want the whole population described as two values that
add to one.

The help screens have not been fruitful so far. I'm suffering from
interference, I'm sure, where knowledge of another package is getting in the
way of seeing what I need to do.

Anyone able to nudge me in the right direction?

Much obliged...
