for "official" commands, yes...but if you write your own -ml- program,
-trace- comes as an option to -ml maximize- so in your -ml program you
need something like
ml maximize, trace
If you want to have the trace turned on or off interactively, I think
you need to include it as an argument or option in your ml program.

-trace-
For example:
. probit fore gear head, trace
Iteration 0: log likelihood = -45.03321
0 0 -.5321897
Iteration 1: log likelihood = -24.664128
1.907905 -.0665373 -6.200864
Iteration 2: log likelihood = -21.824468
2.885617 -.1040464 -9.266334
Iteration 3: log likelihood = -21.512585
3.320682 -.1300716 -10.62843
Iteration 4: log likelihood = -21.506876
3.388441 -.1351156 -10.83891
Iteration 5: log likelihood = -21.506874
3.389793 -.1352324 -10.84307
