st: SEM with categorical variables

Dear all,
I am trying to estimate a structural equations model with Stata 12. I
have ordinal items for my latent dependent variable and categorical
manifest independent variables.
I am not clear on how to handle this. I have read somewhere on the web
that estimating polychoric correlations and feeding them into SEM
could be an option or specifying another estimation method (than ML)
would suffice? In Mplus I just need to specify those variables as
categorical and it chooses the proper method by default.
Many thanks,
Duru
