Dear Clive and others on the list,
Nick Cox's March 8 suggestion on how to construct a single bar graph of
multiple variables, which drew on Clive's and Scott Merryman's
suggestions, does just what I wanted to do--it places a number of bar
graphs of categorical variable frequencies side by side on a single x
axis.

Sorry for the delay in response! Well, the suggested change worked, but
it
only got me as far as:
. *Create data set: 7 variables with values {1, 2, 3}
. clear
. set obs 30
obs was 0, now 30
. qui {
.
. *Create frequency values
. qui {
.
. dsconcat `file1' `file2' `file3' `file4' `file5' `file6' `file7'
file C:\Documents.dta not found
r(601);
end of do-file
r(601);
Is this odd, considering that the lines
qui {
forv i = 1/7 {
tempfile file`i'
xcontract c`i', freq(freq) idnum(`i') saving("`file`i''")
}
}
creates and prepares the seven tempfiles for -dsconcat-? Being a
programming dunce, I'm clearly missing something obvious. I'm only
pursuing this, by the way, because Richard Sherman's original problem is
an interesting one for me as well.
