Susan's wording was not really ambiguous. Her reference to separate
lines shows that she wants a plot of predictions as they vary with age
for the possible values of indicator (dummy) variables.

I would like to graph my age/earnings profile in Stata...i.e. I'd like to graph the relationship between predicted logearnings and age holding the other variables constant but I cannot figure out how to do this. I'd also then like to plot the lines separately for men and women on the same graph.
