	Thanks for your reply, Ben.  Unfortunately, I cannot get that option 
to display as expected.  Here is a short example:

// -- begin sample code -- //

sysuse auto, clear
qui: reg price mpg rep78
est store reg1
qui: reg price mpg rep78 foreign
est store reg2

estout *, style(smcl) cells(b(fmt(%9.2f)) t(par abs)) label ///
    stats(N rmse r2, fmt(%9.0g %9.1f %9.4f) ///
    labels("Sample size" "RMSE" "R-squared")) collabels(, none) ///
    varlabels(_cons Constant) hlinechar("{hline @width}") ///
    postfoot(@hline "t-statistics in parentheses" ///
             @hline "Source: Auto database")

// -- end sample code -- //

	Rather then seeing two horizontal lines, I just see the text "@hline" 
twice in the displayed table.  If I use -hlinechar({hline})-, I do see 
the  horizontal lines, but each has the width of the Results window.  
Do you see what am I doing incorrectly in the above code?  Thanks 
again.
