on-line documentation for _result() contents
--------------------------------------------

   ^_result^ { cmdname | ^_all^ }


Description
-----------

Built-in Stata commands often save important values in ^_result()^.  The command
^_result^ displays information about the contents of _result() following use of
any program or command, ^cmdname^.  This information has been extracted from the
Reference Manual, and stored in a set of 16 Stata help files (with names of the
form ^_res????.hlp^), which must be stored somewhere along the ^S_ADO^ path.  (The
first 2 characters in `????' refer to Reference Manual sections, e.g., `5s' or
`6m'.)  ^_result^ searches these files for information about values stored in
_result() by ^cmdname^ and invokes ^help^ to display it.  If ^cmdname^ does not save
in _result(), that fact is reported.

Alternatively, the argument ^_all^ causes ^_result^ to describe the values saved in
_result() by every command documented to do so.  This information is obtained
from the help file ^_res_all.hlp^, which must also be stored somewhere along the
S_ADO path.


Examples
--------

 . ^_result summ^
   (describe what the summarize command saves in _result().)

 . ^_result canon^
   (describe the values saved in _result() by canon.  The response indicates
   that canon does not save in _result().)

 . ^_result _all^
   (display help file information regarding values saved in _result() by all
   commands acknowledged to do so.)
