st: Problem selecting data range within a variable

I have some data and one of the variables I have put into deciles. For an analysis I want to compare variables from the top 10% (decile 1) and the bottom 10% (decile 10) of the data but I can't work out how to get Stata to do that.
I'm very new to Stata so the more simple the explanation the better.
Thank you
Helen
