You should be able to create a series from a column of D, provided 
the length of your data set is 16 (or the length of the current 
sample is 16):

<script>
nulldata 16
matrix D = I(16)
series d1 = D[,1]
print d1 -o
</script>

The above does the right thing here.  It's possible there was a 
problem in 1.7.2 that prevented this.  Right now I'd recommend
using the CVS build of 1.7.4/1.7.5:
