There is no need to use -nl- here: this is just a simple
regression with an interaction terms:

*----------------- begin example ----------------------
sysuse auto, clear
nl (price = {b1}*mpg+ foreign*({b2} + {b3}*mpg) + {b0})
gen forXmpg = foreign * mpg
reg price mpg foreign forXmpg
*------------------- end example ----------------------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see: 
http://www.maartenbuis.nl/example_faq )

So you can just use -regress- and all the post-estimation
commands that are avaialbe after that.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
