" By the way, how do add the mean in this quintiles"
Use -egen, mean()-:
*************
sysuse auto, clear
xtile quant = mpg, nquantiles(5)
bys quant: egen meaninsidequantile=mean(mpg)
sort quant
l mpg meaninsidequantile quant, sepby(quant) h(20)
*************

Martin, I think the first command John gave was wrong, but the second
that he gave works now.
I am afraid describe netexp does not give much but
xtile quintile=netexpe [w=weight], nq(5)
creates the quintile variable
with frequencies and percentages.
By the way, how do add the mean in this quintiles
