st: metareg with (a) std. betas and (b) sequential or stepwise?

Is it possible to do the following with metareg?  
(a) Produce standardized betas with the metareg command?

(b) Enter predictor variables in either sequential or stepwise (a.k.a.
hierarchical) fashion? If so, must it be individual variables, or can
blocks of variables be specified (e.g., design characteristics, then
subject characteristics, etc.)?

My meta-analysis involves mean difference (continuous) effect sizes. I
have tried using the OLS regress options with metareg, but the only
output I produce is error messages. For example:
	metareg Y X1 X2 X3, wsse(seY) bsest(reml) beta
   or	sw metareg Y X1 X2 X3, wsse(seY) bsest(reml)

Can someone advice me if I am using the wrong commands, or suggest
effective work-arounds if these options are not available for metareg?

Thanks very much,
Wendy
