Mike,
I don't think you read my response to Martin. I already appologized for the pathway screw up that Martin pointed out. It was my original intent to remove the pathways from the code, but office distractions led me to overlook those lines in my example. I also said that Stata did not return any kind of error message, and that it just ignores my -ysize- option.
Gary,
Thanks for your constructive advice. I'll try to get -graph display- to work for me.

Unless I misunderstand your example (which the exchange below suggests it may fail the Statalist FAQ dictum: "Say exactly what you typed and exactly what Stata typed (or did) in response. N.B. exactly!"), it looks to me that you are not using your named graphs in your -graph combine- and -grc1leg- commands, but rather (old?) versions you have saved to disk. If so, this could yield unanticipated results.
(As an aside: why hard-code Windows-type paths into such a simple example? It is completely unnecessary, even if you are -saving()- the graphs. When people do this, they are implicitly saying they don't want any help from the many folks on Statalist who use a non-MS operating system.)

>> I've ran into a problem using -grc1leg-, which puts a single legend on a combined graph. I am unable to use the -xsize- and -ysize- region options, which are available when using -graph combine-. here's an example:
