Thank you both.

Maarten do you have any sample code on using gmm to program ml?

Having never programmed my own ml, I am going to go over the archives
to see how others have gone about it.  But I would also be grateful if
you could point me to a stata reference on how to program your own ml.

Thanks
Amer
