How about using -heckprob- for the probit with sample selection and then
using -suest- to combine the equations. Something like this:
webuse school
heckprob private years logptax, sel(vote = years loginc logptax) score(s1*)
estimates store eq1
heckprob school years logptax, sel(vote = years loginc logptax) score(s2*)
estimates store eq2
suest eq1 eq2
I hope this helps,
Scott
