Thank you very much, works fantastic. Teachers and friends at my University are 
very grateful to the usefulness of this new functionality.

I wonder if it would be relevant to add the role information and a description 
of the type of variable. This is something that SPSS does not have, but really 
this utility has not been updated for decades in SPSS.

I leave an example of how it could be. Thank you again.

Variable (001)


sex

Label: Sex of subject  
Type: Numeric (F8.2)
Missing Values: None
Measurement Level: Scale
Role: None

Value Labels:
0,00 Male
1,00 Female

Note: I have noticed that PSPP uses the same dialog Edit menu|Go to Variable 
and Utilities|Variables. Perhaps for that reason could not select more than one 
variable, as it can interfere with the functioning of "Go to Variable". In SPSS 
dialogue "Go to Variable" only shows a list of variables and is fused with 
dialogue "Go to Case".

I think a simple solution would be for the "Jump to" button is disabled when 
you select more than one variable.
