If I set up a scheme with the following and save it as -new1.scheme-.

#include s1color
color p1      black
color p2      black
linepattern p1  solid
linepattern p2  dot

Then all of the follow will produce what you want:

set scheme new1

graph twoway function y=normal(.3372456+(.837738*x)),             ///
          xscale(range(0 .9)) xlabel(0(.1).9)  ylabel(0(.1)1)     ///
          legend(label(1 "Bivariate") label(2 "Direct Effects"))  ///
          ||  ///
          function y=normal(.3263623+.0249095+(.9102603*x)),  ///
          xscale(range(0 .9))  xlabel(0(.1).9) ylabel(0(.1)1)  ///
          legend(label(1 "Bivariate") label(2 "Direct Effects"))  ///

twoway (function y=normal(.3372456+(.837738*x)))        ///
       (function y=normal(.3263623+.0249095+(.9102603*x))),  ///

          legend(label(1 "Bivariate") label(2 "Direct Effects"))

That's funny.  When I use lpattern (which I used originally) and only
list one input as you did, it works.  But, I can show anyone dozens of
graphs I have made over the last 7 years with:

lpattern("-.-" "...")

that worked (under the || specification).  So, while this makes it
possible for me to make the graph, it raises concern that the syntax
no longer accepts former input.  Page 459 of the Stata13 graphics
manual states:

In certain contexts (for example, scatter; see [G-2] graph twoway
scatter), the lpattern(), lwidth(), lcolor(), and lstyle() options may
be specified with a list of elements, with the first element applying
to the first variable, the second element to the second variable, and
so on. For information on specifying lists, see [G-4] stylelists.

It seems function plots in the || syntax used to be such a context,
and now it may not be.  Or, I have done something else off and its
messing up the context.

Anyway, glad I can go ahead and make this graph.  Thanks, Phil, Alan,
and Sergiy.

>>>>> Anyone know what's up with linepatternstyle in stata13?  In graphing a few functions in the same graph, no matter what I do all lines are solid (though the shading may differ).  I tried setting mono but that no longer works (horrors for all those graphs I coded several years ago, if I have to re-make some sometime).  I used s1mono and s2mono and at worst all lines are the same (solid, same shade), and at best they differ only in shade. But I need differences in pattern (e.g., solid, dotted, and so forth).
