-muxyplot- (a rather ugly abbreviation 
for -multiple x y plot-) is a package for 
Stata 6 up available from SSC. It uses oldstyle 
graphics and as a program written in 1999
is unaware of the graphics syntax introduced
in 2003, as you realise. 

I've not touched it since the release of 8, 
partly because I guessed it now obsolete. 

Adama's graph sounds like the Stata 8 

. twoway connect Meanrend lohiyield stbund2 
	if  lohiyield>0, ylabel(50(50)1050) 
	ms(oh plus) sort ... 

and to be in no need of -museum xyplot-. 
However, I guess that the syntax in 
the latter case would be more like 

. muxyplot Meanrend lohiyield stbund2 stbund2 
	if lohiyield>0, ylabel(50(50)1050) 
	c(ll) sy(op) sort  l2(Meanrend) b2(stbund2) 

as the -connect()- and -symbol()- options 
refer to the y variables only (the first half
of those specified). 

Even in Stata < 8, this is equivalent to 

. graph Meanrend lohiyield stbund2  
	if lohiyield>0, ylabel(50(50)1050) 
	c(ll) sy(op) sort  l2(Meanrend) b2(stbund2) 

I'm not sure what the graph will look 
like if -stbund2- is dummy, but that's 
a separate issue. 

However, I'll draw attention also to 
-regplot- on SSC, which has been updated to 8.
