[Using Stata 8; impending upgrade to Stata 9]

Like numbers-at-risk on KM plots, subgroup trend tests are an issue I often
wrangle with and find that I can solve only outside of Stata (albeit
somewhat unsatisfactorily and unloggable fashion).

Any help on how I may address this matter within Stata would be much
appreciated.
