Thanks Martin. This code produces price groups within levels of range  
-200 to +200 from the baseline "foreign" example I suggested, which  
was $4296, but what I'm hoping to achieve is that same grouping for  
each one "foreign" to all "domestic" that are priced within -200 to  
+200 of that one car.

.. list foreign make price if group53==1, clean noobs
foreign	make	price	
Domestic	Chev. Monza	3,667	
Domestic	AMC Spirit	3,799	
Domestic	Merc. Bobcat	3,829	
Foreign	Toyota Corolla	3,748	
Foreign	Subaru	3,798	
Foreign	Renault Le Car	3,895
