One little tweak to my previous suggestion: if there is missing data, 
stepwise does casewise deletion on all variables you specify, whether 
they make it into the final model or not.  So, to have the same cases 
analyzed by both stepwise and nestreg, do something like

sw, pe(.05):  reg warm yr89 male white age ed prst
nestreg:  reg warm age male yr89 ed white if e(sample)
