st: generate random sample

Dear listers
I am using Stata/MP 11 Windows.
What is the good way to generate a sample from a population with
replacement?
Say, how to generate 3 independent random numbers from population
(1,2,3,4,5) with probability distribution (0.2, 0.1, 0.3, 0.3,0.1)?
Many thanks for the help.
Ning
