I do not know why you want to -display- it instead of using it for
your -graph- thing. But omit the quotes aorund the -display- directive and
there will be no error. You also should not change the line continuation I
use...

Subject: st: pass quotes in a local macro
I get an error msg running your code-seems to be missing a double
quote in the beginning of the string-and I still dont get how to pass
the double quotes.
. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
. levelsof for, local(levs)
0 1
. foreach level of local levs{
2. loc xt `xt' `level' /* */ "`:label(foreign) `level''"
3. }
. di "`xt'"
0 Domestic" 1 "Foreign"" invalid name
r(198);
end of do-file
