     Actually, I see. PSPP indeed flac significant correlations correctly
     (i.e. in italic fonts), but I expected it would flag them with
     asterisks. That's why I said it does not flag it at all.
     
     However - I prefer asterisks.

This is a limitation of the current output subsystem. Superscripts, asterisks 
and
the like are not currently possible.  Hopefully this is going to change soon.
