Betreff: st: tagging observations where either x or y are true

I'd appreciate advice on this problem which although apparently simple  
is somewhat vexing.
Note that for:
	sample 30.1 only y is true,
	sample 34.3 only x is true,
but 	sample 34.1 both x and y are true,

     sampleid   x     y
         30.1         0      1
         34.1         1      0
         34.1         0      1
         34.3         1      0

What I'd like to achieve is only one entry for 34.1, where both x and  
y ==1.
I can identify 34.1 with -duplicates-, but can't figure out the next  
step of concatenating observations for that sampleid such that x=y=1.
