st: Derivatives at different parameter values

["J Page" <mdjhp@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

How can one implement the numerical derivatives currently implemented in 
Stata's ml maximizer in a setting outside outside of ml?  I would like to 
calculate numerical derivatives at given parameter values. The dydx function 
does not appear to do this.

Thanks much.

John
