Thanks Nick & Maarten,
The limitation with -grc1leg- is that it can only choose as its own meta-title one of the titles from the subgraphs which are being combined.

-graph combine-, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be able to use only one meta-legend.

The reason I'm seeking a solution is that I'm combining 4 graphs, one for each cancer stage I-IV, and I want to have the sub-title "Stage I", "Stage II", and so on, for each sub-graph. However, the legend is the same for each sub-graph, so I only want to display it once.

-findit grc1leg- will turn up Vince Wiggins' cryptically-named -grc1leg- program (GRaph Combine 1 LEGend), which does exactly what you want.

Greetings,
With the following combined graph, built based on suggestions by Maarten Buis, is it possible to display the legend only once, instead of twice where it appears under both sub-graphs?

sysuse cancer.dta, clear
stset studytime, failure(died)
sts graph if age < 55, by(drug) title("Young", box bfcolor(white)) saving("young", replace )
sts graph if age >= 55, by(drug) title("Old", box bfcolor(white)) saving("old", replace )
graph combine young.gph old.gph, rows(2) cols(2) iscale(0.5) title(Survival by Age Group)
