Douglas,

I second Martin; -parmest- and -parmby- are excellent for compiling
datasets of estimation results. Note the options -idnum()- and
-idstr()- which you can use to label your different models.

If you want to do it from first principles, you can also use -post-.
Here is your example using the auto data:

********************************
sysuse auto, clear

postfile models rep78 str10 link str5 family b_adj b_unadj using
models.dta, replace
	forvalues i=3/5 {
		qui glm price mpg foreign if rep78==`i', l(log) f(gamma) /*adjusted model*/
		local adj = _b[mpg]
		qui glm price mpg if rep78==`i', l(log) f(gamma) /*unadjusted model*/
		local unadj = _b[mpg]
		post models (`i') ("log") ("gamma") (`adj') (`unadj')

		qui glm price mpg foreign if rep78==`i', l(power 0.5) f(gauss)
/*adjusted model*/
		local adj = _b[mpg]
		qui glm price mpg if rep78==`i', l(power 0.5) f(gauss) /*unadjusted model*/
		local unadj = _b[mpg]
		post models (`i') ("power 0.5") ("gauss") (`adj') (`unadj')
	}
postclose models

use models, clear
list
**************************************************************

The disadvantage of this approach is that you have to take care of
everything manually that -parmest- does for you: standard errorrs,
degrees of freedom ect.

Hope this helps,
Eva
