I see your problem.
twoway scatter weight price, by(foreign) ymla(3500 "hello", labsize(*2)
ang(h)) ytitle("")
is one kludge.

Thank you Martin and Nick for your responses,
I tried using the orientation sub-option but when producing graphs with
a by- option it didn't seem to register and kept it the default
(vertical)
For example:
twoway (scatter weight price), by(foreign) ytitle("hello",
orientation(horizontal))
I am unsure where to put the text or subtitle option so it doesn't put
it in both graphs, as for example:
twoway (scatter weight price), by(foreign) text(5050 5050 "hello")
