Note that Dale wants a matrix of scatterplots, but not one in
the sense of -graph, matrix-. The files having been merged,
this would seem to be something like

. sort idnum
. graph response R resistnc, by(idnum) total jitter(2)
ylabel(0(2)10) c(.l) sy(oi)

The key question thus appears to be what Dale tried with -merge-
and why it didn't work. The only clue given here is that
-resistnc- appears in different form for -idnum- 401.
