I can't find this command, Yuval. What's the source? And how does it solve Daniel's problem of weighting the data?

You can also try::
-twoway__histogram_gen varname, generate (h x) frequency-
in which case you will get in the editor two variables (h and x) -
where one of which is the numerical values of the variable and the
other is the frequency
BTW: Somebody asked a similar question a few days ago, and Nick Cox
answered this question
