There are probably easier ways of doing this, but this seems to work:
*--------------- begin example --------------------
sysuse auto, clear
gen good = rep78 >3 if rep78 < .
proportion good, over(foreign)
test [_prop_1]_b[Foreign] = [_prop_2]_b[Foreign]
*----------------- end example --------------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html )
Hope this helps,
Maarten
