I can't speak for STATA. In Stata you 
can superimpose histograms using e.g. 

twoway histogram ... || histogram ... 

although the result is often a mess. 
A -dotplot-, a oneway plot, a quantile plot,
etc. can often be much more effective. 

A rather long-winded but nevertheless heartfelt 
discussion appeared in 

Graphing distributions. Stata Journal 4(1): 66--88
(2004) 

a review of official and user-written commands for
graphing univariate distributions; includes tricks
beyond what is obviously and readily available
