Interesting challenge. I played around with this for 
a while and produced two solutions worth reporting. It 
is striking that you could get so close with 
a few lines of interactive code, yet 
getting closer seems a lot more work. 

On the other hand, it sounds as if you want to do this 
repeatedly, so a more general program seems desired. 

There is probably some simpler way I can't spot. 

My first solution was a wrapper for -table-. 

. fhtable rep78 foreign, format(%9.2f)

----------------------------------------------------------
Repair    |
Record    |
1978      | mean(foreign1)  mean(foreign2)      N(foreign)
----------+-----------------------------------------------
        1 |         100.00            0.00               2
        2 |         100.00            0.00               8
        3 |          90.00           10.00              30
        4 |          50.00           50.00              18
        5 |          18.18           81.82              11
          | 
    Total |          69.57           30.43              69
----------------------------------------------------------

On the other hand you can only have four groups! (One 
variable is needed for counts.) Hence this fails: 

. fhtable foreign rep78
too many stats()
r(103);

My second solution was a wrapper for -list-, which works 
both ways: 

. fhlist foreign rep78

  +--------------------------------------------------------+
  | foreign      1       2       3       4       5   Total |
  |--------------------------------------------------------|
  |       0   4.17   16.67   56.25   18.75    4.17      48 |
  |       1   0.00    0.00   14.29   42.86   42.86      21 |
  |--------------------------------------------------------|
  |   Total   2.90   11.59   43.48   26.09   15.94      69 |
  +--------------------------------------------------------+

. fhlist rep78 foreign

  +------------------------------------+
  | rep78   Domestic   Foreign   Total |
  |------------------------------------|
  |     1     100.00      0.00       2 |
  |     2     100.00      0.00       8 |
  |     3      90.00     10.00      30 |
  |     4      50.00     50.00      18 |
  |     5      18.18     81.82      11 |
  |------------------------------------|
  | Total      69.57     30.43      69 |
  +------------------------------------+
