st: RE: Basic Questions: Storing multiple results and data for future use

["Ben Hoen" <bhoen@lbl.gov>]

I had meant to include this syntax to give you an idea of what I tried:

sysuse auto
reg price mpg trunk
eststo mpgtrunk
reg price mpg rep78
eststo mpgrep
eststo dir //this shows the two models
est save mpgmodels, replace
save resultsdata, replace
clear all
use resultsdata, replace
est use mpgmodels, 
eststo dir //this confirms that I have not done something right

Subject: Basic Questions: Storing multiple results and data for future use

I run a series of models each stored using eststo: .eststo name.  I use the
eststo dir, to keep tabs of these results, and often will drop ones that I
do not plan on using as a final set.  

My question is, after I have created this set of results in one session, can
I store them all, with one command, and then call them up later for future
use?  Tangentially, I see the dataset contains an e(sample) for each set of
stored results, so I suspect I will need to save the dataset too.  

I have experimented with .est save and .estsave, but have not been able to
find the correct commands to do what I want.  Nor was I able to make sense
of the previous online discussions on this subject.

Any suggestions?

Ben
