We measure the cross section for e+e--->psi(3770)-->hadrons at Ec.m.=3773 MeV to be (6.38±0.08<sub>-0.30</sub><sup>+0.41</sup>) nb using the CLEO detector at the CESR e+e- collider. The difference between this and the e+e--->psi(3770)-->D[overline D] cross section at the same energy is found to be (-0.01±0.08<sub>-0.30</sub><sup>+0.41</sup>) nb. With the observed total cross section, we extract Gammaee(psi(3770))=(0.204±0.003<sub>-0.027</sub><sup>+0.041</sup>) keV. Uncertainties shown are statistical and systematic, respectively.
