OOPS - now that I posted this, I figured out that one needs to write
something like

 test _b[b0]=_b[b3]

Subject: st: test after -nl-


Hi - After all these years of using -nl-, I apparently never tried to use
-test- after estimation. But it doesn't work, even though the (Stata 8,
p.48) manual mentions -test- as a complementary reference at the end of the
-nl-section. So what am I doing wrong (see below)?
