I see. I've looked again at your program and can see no problems but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I am reliant on general Stata knowledge here as I never use or write stuff in this field for myself -- but I imagine that Brian Poi might look at this soon and he is of course the real expert on this.

"Doesn't work" means that I get the following message in red after I run
-nlsur- command:

nlsurxxx returned 9
verify that nlsurxxx is a function evaluator program

Depends on what "doesn't work" mean. If the problem is in your data, the
program will run but there will be some other problem. If the problem is
that your program is not valid, the result will be different. You really
should be telling us exactly what "doesn't work" mean. 

On a different note, please trim your postings of stuff no longer
pertinent. A long posting is not a big deal to those who start reading
at the top but it bulks out the daily digest for those who receive
Statalist in that form.

Brian and Nick,

I'm totally embarassed now, but guess what happened: doesn't work even
with matched names (this time "xxx", see below). Brian tried, with fake
data, and it worked. Could the problem be in my data? I have created w1
w2 w3 w4 w5 lnp1 lnp2 lnp3 lnp4 lnp5 lnp6 lnexp and the variables do not
look problematic in any way.

The code with matched names:

		  
program nlsurxxx
		version 12
		
		syntax varlist(min=12 max=12) if, at(name)
		tokenize `varlist'
		args w1 w2 w3 w4 w5 lnp1 lnp2 lnp3 lnp4 lnp5 lnp6 lnexp
