-h margins- and -h marginsplot- will point you in the right direction.  Additionally, Michael Mitchell has a great book that specifically addresses this topic (http://statapress.com/books/interpreting-visualizing-regression-models/).  

HTH,

Both explanatory variables (the interacted ones) are continuous. To allow for a better interpretation of the interaction many papers present simple slope graphs of the interactions (basically high/low combinations of the two variables) combined with significance tests of the slope of the one variable at the two levels of the other.

So I think I should be able to do both the plotting and testing by hand. However, I was wondering if there is a (user written) STATA command available which could be used to create the plots as well as to do the significance tests.
