BVAR program code

Is there any way to make a model from a BVAR in a batch file? I see the subroutine makemodel is in the add-in directory, but I am finding it difficult to call it for a BVAR estimation. Thanks!

I'll wait for Esther to confirm (she wrote it!), but a quick look at the code seems to indicate that there is an "m=name" option that lets you specify the name of a model object to make when running the add-in.

Gareth is right. Here is an example: bvar(m=model1) 2 y x1 x2 x3 (please note that the first argument is the number of lags).
