If we take Richard's question literaly, then this if probably
the best answer. However, I would argue that the fast 
majority of users should *not* use it, this includes users who
program in Stata. This is because Stata has a great many tools
available that will do that computation for you. I previously
pointed to predictions (-predictnl-, but also -predict- itself)
Inside the various programs you can use for maximizing likelihoods 
there are a number of tools who do that computation for you, and
I presume that the same is true for the tools available to 
estimate models using generalized methods of moments.
