No; this isn't entirely correct. You can place your own directories  
ahead of Stata's, although I think Kit and I will agree that this is  
not only an extraordinarily bad idea but also most unlikely to be the  
explanation in this case.

He is quite correct; if you modified the default -adopath- by adding  
your own directories at the beginning, you could occlude official  
Stata's search for commands implemented in the ado-file language (but  
not built-in commands). As Nick says, this would be a Very Bad Idea,  
and unlikely to have bearing on the poster's problem with -histogram-.
In some prior postings it has been stated by StataCorp staff that a  
cause for such aberrant behavior on Stata's part has, in their  
experience, often been caused by 'bootleg' copies of the software. Not  
that this is likely the case in this instance, but it can cause this  
sort of behavior.
