Or Robin could use -histogram, discrete- after -sencode- (downloadable from 
SSC), if he wants the bars to be ordered non-alphabetically. Another 
possibility is to use -xcontract- (also downloadable from SSC), and then to 
use -twoway bar- on the output data set produced by -xcontract-, which 
contains both frequencies and percentages.

I hope this helps.
