Jeff

I'll go with the first suggestion (for now). Many thanks,

Patrick

The syntax for -bstrap- has changed from Stata 7 to Stata 8.  In Stata 8,
-bstrap- is a synonym for -bootstrap-.  To get -bstrap- to behave like it
does in Stata 7, use the -version- command:

	. version 7: bstrap alphawithin, reps(10)

To use the modern -bootstrap- syntax, try the following modified version of
-alphawithin-

	program myalpha, rclass
		version 8.2
		tempname y
		alpha bef*
		scalar `y' = r(alpha)
		alpha aft*
		return scalar diff = r(alpha) - `y'
	end

	. bootstrap "myalpha" alphawithin=r(diff), reps(10)

For more details on -bootstrap-, see [R] bootstrap.
