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.
Many thanks,
Vincenzo
