With the data I am using, variables A and B have
values of 0/1. The following KM graph:
sts graph if stage==5, by(A B) lpattern(-) xtitle("Survival time in months") l2title("Percent surviving") xmtick(0(10)150)
shows a plot in which the lines for the four different
A/B combinations show in green, brown, blue dash
and black, but without any command from me.
Is it possible to specify that each A/B combination
have a specific line pattern and color?

If you want lines to differ in pattern rather than color,
you might benefit from the unofficial -lean- schemes which
give plain black-and-white graphs:
findit lean scheme
Otherwise you can:
sysuse cancer
stset studytime, failure(died==1)
sts graph, by(drug) ///
plot1opts(lpattern(l) lcolor(black)) ///
plot2opts(lpattern(-) lcolor(black)) ///
plot3opts(lpattern(dot) lcolor(black))
Hope this helps
