Devra,
I believe you want to use the -legend(label(# "text"))- option. Something like
this:
twoway (histogram weight if foreign==0, density blcolor(blue) bfcolor(none)
legend(label(1 "Domestic"))) ///
(histogram weight if foreign==1, density blcolor(red) bfcolor(none)
legend(label(2 "Foreign")))
hope this helps,
Scott
