[patch #6302] Implement GET DATA/TYPE=TXT.

[John Darrington]

Follow-up Comment #5, patch #6302 (project pspp):

> I assume that the behavior is the same as for DATA LIST. Is that correct? 

It would seem not. DATA LIST doesn't require an EXECUTE.  Neither for that
matter does GET DATA /TYPE=GNM nor does GET FILE='thing.sav'.   This follows
the way that I remember spss operates.

For any command which does require EXECUTE, I would expect to see the
"Transformation Pending" label appear in the status bar, but this doesn't
happen for this patch.

Also, I've noticed that if I run the gui, and run, as seperate operations, 
 GET DATA /TYPE=TXT /FILE='/etc/passwd' ... 
 EXECUTE.
 FREQUENCIES /VARIABLES=shell.
then a crash occurs at frequencies.q:686

I'm not able reproduce this except in the GUI, and it only happens when the
commands are run separately.
