Re: st: How to add Q stats from -wntestq- to -esttab- table (hopefully with -estadd-)

[Stas Kolenikov <skolenik@gmail.com>]

Oh, I see now. This is actually a subcommand of -estadd- (very much
like there are subcommands of say -egen-). I was not aware of this
functionality of -estadd-. I take it back, you should be fine.
