st: Manipulations within a panel data set.

Hello,
Say I have a panel data set with n individuals and income is one of
the regressors. I have two indices: i,j in {1,...,n} and I would like
to set the income of person i to be the income of person i divided by
the income of person j, and leave everything else unchanged. Is there
a simple way to do that?
Also, I will have to do this for all individuals, but they will all be
divided by different j's. If I have a list of the j's for i in
{1,...,n}, is there a quick way to do what I described above in Stata
without a for loop?
Thanks!
