Re: st: updated documentation via external link

["Michael N. Mitchell" <Michael.Norman.Mitchell@gmail.com>]

Dear David

  This applies to a number of other commands in addition to -xtmixed-. My hunch is that 
this is to save time in downloading the entire .pdf manual again due to updates to just a 
portion of the manual. I say this because at work I install and update Stata and find that 
the update process can take 20+ minutes, 95% of which seems to be in downloading the .pdf 
manuals.

Best regards,

Michael N. Mitchell
