. graph matrix ... 

Actually, there's a wrinkle here
which I think is worth spelling out. 

Presuming that your response variable 
is y and the others are covariates, the 
command 

. graph matrix x1 x2 x3 x4 y 

ensures that the bottom line of graphs 
all have y as vertical axis variable 
and the various x* as horizontal axis
variables. You may agree with me in 
preferring this arrangement to that 
produced by 

. graph matrix y x1 x2 x3 x4 

So mention the response _last_ 
(clearly, the opposite of what you must
do with e.g. -regress-). 

When you are unsure of command names, 

. search graph matrix 

(e.g.) will point towards them.
