I'm using nl and would like to test equality between two coefficients
after estimation. According to the Stata manual test is available after
nl but I can't seem to get it to work. See my simple example below:

nl(ksumma04=exp({b0}+{b1}*boyta+{b2}*stand))


      Source |       SS       df       MS
-------------+------------------------------         Number of obs =
1738
       Model |  6.3693e+09     3  2.1231e+09         R-squared     =
0.9183
    Residual |   566726732  1735   326643.65         Adj R-squared =
0.9182
-------------+------------------------------         Root MSE      =
571.5275
       Total |  6.9360e+09  1738  3990821.75         Res. dev.     =
26995.96

test boyta=stand
regressor boyta not found
r(111);

Any other suggestions on how to specify the command? Found an earlier
question in the Statalist archive that gave the following suggestion but
it doesn't work either.

test _b[b1]=_b[b2]
[b1] not found
r(111);

I have also tried:

. test _coef[boyta]=0
. test _b[boyta]=_b[stand]
. test b1=b2

Nothing works. Any suggestions on the right syntax or is there some
other problem?
