Subject | st: lincom vs nlcom |

Dear Statalister, I am trying to estimate an ordered probit model like this: W=age+agesquared+height+height*age+height*agesquared I am interested in the significance and the sign of the interaction between age and height. I would do: lincom height+height*age+height*agesquared I have two questions on that: 1. is lincom the right command to do this? Or I need nlcom? (I think that even if the model is non linear, the combination I want to test it is linear, so lincom should work well) 2. The output of lincom (and eventually of nlcom) is also a marginal effect? And, if not, how to get a marginal effect where there are interaction effects? Any hint is appreciated.
