You might want to have a look at Nick Cox's Stata8 version of oneway...

. ssc describe onewayplot
. ssc install onewayplot [, replace]

Which should give you all the flexibility you need (although you may need to get 
accustomed to the new syntax, so a copy of the [G] manual would be usfeul).

You may also find the Stata Library - Graph Examples at UCLA useful in learning the 
new graphics commands (see
