In addition to Ronan's very thoughtful remarks:
I think there were other reasons why Susanna got no replies before this
one.
It wasn't very clear what she wants. My guess was that she wants a plot
of predicted response in terms of X4 and X5, adjusting for X1 ... X3. As
mentioned on this list very frequently, Stata isn't serious at 3-D
graphics that might meet this need, whether contour plots or perspective
views.
Just browsing the archives would have signalled the difficulty above.

This request has generated no replies as yet, and it's not hard to see
why. Note, especially "I need a pretty graph"
I looked up "pretty graph" in Stata and there's no routine available,
so we'll have to think this one out. Apologies - this is a long post.
[much detailed advice]
