st: generating a variable with pre-specified correlations with other two (given) variables

Dear Statalisters:
I have a dataset with two variables, x and y.
I would like to generate a new artificial variable, z, with
pre-specified correlations with x and y (no particular distribution
required).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Francisco.
P.D. I'm using Stata 11 (on Windows XP)
