st: Regaining control over axis ranges

Dear Statalist,
I'm trying to shorten the y axis of a graph. I understand it is not always
straightforward.
Quoting from "Stata tip 23: Regaining control over axis ranges"
(http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=gr0019)

"to get a narrower x-axis, we must specify a narrower set of axis
labels... for example
scatter mpg price, xlabel(5000[1000]15000)
<\Quote>
I couldn't get it to work, what I'm doing wrong?
<CODE>
webuse rates,clear
tsset date
graph twoway (tsline dow) (lfit dow date), yscale(range(-250 250))
ylabel(-250[100]250, grid)
<\CODE>
