Of course! I see my error now. I got too focused on an approach with a by() statement. I just have to combine the two dataset differently. Sometimes I just have to type a question to see how ridiculous it is. (Now I just have to work on waiting a bit longer before I hit "send").
Thanks,

How about Fisher's exact test for the corresponding 2 x 2 contingency table.

Subject: st: comparing proportions
I'm drawing a blank on a command for comparing two independent binomial distributions, but the command has to be in the form of:
<command> var1, by(group)
For example, comparing a yes/no variable by gender.
-prtest- is the right form, but I would prefer not using the large-sample approximation (sample size is small for several variables).
I suppose -exlogistic- would work, but it seems like a very big hammer for such a small nail.
Thanks
