StataCorp decided not to include this directly
in Stata 8. 
However, what you want is really just
a kind of scatter plot and can be achieved after 
a (temporary) restructure of your data. 
Alternatively, you can use -onewayplot- from 
SSC to avoid thinking about that restructuring. 
. ssc inst onewayplot 
will install the program on your system. 
In your case, 
. onewayplot var1 var2 var3 
would be a good start. With the auto
data, 
. onewayplot mpg turn trunk
. onewayplot mpg turn trunk, stack variablelabels 
are a couple of examples. The help file 
says much more, including a comparison with
-gr7, oneway- and -dotplot-.
