I like the old -adjust- command for that, see -help adjust- and
the example below:

*-------------- begin example -------------
sysuse auto, clear
gen price2 = price^2
reg mpg price price2 foreign rep78

preserve
adjust rep78 foreign, by(price) ci replace
twoway rarea lb ub price, sort || ///
       line xb price, sort legend(off)
restore
*--------------- end example ---------------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see:

Hope this helps,
Maarten
