Re: documentation for graphic user interface

[John Darrington]

There's no official user documentation for the GUI. However there's a rather 
good wiki at http://pspp.kiberpipa.org/wiki/doku.php which includes some links
to some video presentations which might be of help to you.   Alternatively, the
 PSPP GUI is very similar to SPSS, so any book or tutorial targeted at SPSS is
likely to also work well with PSPP.

To answer your specific question: It doesn't make a lot of sense to append the 
mean of a set of data into the data editor itself (in which cell would it go? 
Under which variable?) However, something similar to what you are asking can
be done with the aggregate command.  Use the menu under Data->Aggregate, or
syntax like:

compute global = 1.

AGGREGATE OUTFILE=* MODE=ADDVARIABLES
        /break = global
        /mean_of_x = MEAN (x).


Hope this helps.
