I've tried that command but it usually just seems to produce a bunch of 
blank pages for me.  Much better would be a 
Do_Whatever_May_Boggess_Would_Do_In_This_Situation command.

If that is a bit too much to ask, it seems like a command that did all 
pairwise comparisons of group means or proportions using Bonferroni and/or 
Marascuillo adjustments would seem to have widespread usefulness.  Or, 
perhaps have some variation of the test command where you would list the 
dummy vars, and specify parameters telling Stata to do all pairwise 
equality tests applying a Bonferroni correction, e.g.

Testeq dummy1 dummy2 dummy3 dummy4, Bonferroni

or something like that (I have a general idea of what I want, but very 
little knowledge of how to achieve it with Stata).
