Quite right. There is no help file associated with -kernreg2-. 

As you have pointed this out, I should explain why. 

-kernreg2- was intended as a temporary fix for -kernreg- 
posted unilaterally by myself, given obvious bugs in -kernreg-, 
which the first author has accepted were there. 

However, despite several public and private appeals over the 
years, the authors have never got round to updating their program. 
This is a disappointment to me, personally and now as an 
Editor of the Stata Journal, but what am I to do? No Editor
should unilaterally publish an Update under the authors' 
names without their participation. If I withdraw -kernreg2-, 
what is left is just a buggy -kernreg- (and, if I recall
correctly, a less buggy -kernreg1- by some other party). 

That said, the syntax for -kernreg2- is just that for -kernreg-. 

And that said, in my view, -locpoly- supersedes -kernreg- 
and is the program of choice in this area given, Stata 8 or 9. 
Go straight for -locpoly-.
