I missed a way of doing this that is in retrospect
embarrassingly obvious -- although so did everybody else,
and it is no good if you have bins inside the distribution
of height zero. Use -twoway histogram, recast(line)-. You
may need to tweak the -lcolor()-.

Marcello mentions -eqprhistogram-, which is a program on SSC.
A search using -findit- reveals nothing. Various people have played with 
this in this past, but none that I know of got as far as a truly general 
program which they made public.
