I guess that whatever you do a main header will still be displayed
after the first group header. 

I think this needs a change to Stata, e.g. an option added 
to -bysort- specifying a header. 

Alternatively, it may be possible indirectly, 
by calling a program (or do file) that displays
a header, then fires up a byable program, but 
at first sight the passing of arguments would be
somewhat awkward.
