Dear Mr. Cox,

Thank you.  The example syntax worked great.
Question:  
What is being computed by the line "local level = (100 - 95) / 200"?
Is this line in any way dependent upon the number of observations?
Alternatively, what does 200 signify.

Thanks again and pardon my ignorance.

sysuse auto, clear 
gen gpm = 1/mpg
qreg gpm weight 
predict pred 
predict se, stdp  
local level = (100 - 95) / 200  
gen ul = pred + invttail(e(df_r), `level') * se 
gen ll = pred - invttail(e(df_r), `level') * se 
twoway rarea ll ul weight, sort astyle(ci) || ///
line pred weight, sort || ///
scatter gpm weight, legend(off) ytitle(Gallons per mile)

In Stata 10, assuming a qreg regression with one predictor, is there a
way to develop confidence intervals around the qreg trend line (or any
quantile for that matter)?

Also, once developed, what would be the syntax to then graph the scatter
plot, trend line and confidence intervals?
