     Hi Robin here again,
     I've been working through sections 5.2.3 and 5.2.4 on pages 19 and 20 of 
the manual with the hotel.sav sample file.
     I've repeated the steps about computing v3 to be 6 - the old v3 and v5 to 
be 6 - the old v5and then testing the reliability of variables v1, v3 and v5 
but Cronbach's Alpha comes out at -0.15, not as 0.86 as it says in the manual.


I get the same results as you (contrary to the manual).  Also,
I note that whereas the example processes the variables v1, v3 and v5,
the commentary refers to v1, v2 and v5.

So I suspect that somebody  changed something at some point in time and
neglected to update the references.

I will have a look at what needs to be fixed and push a change accordingly.


Thanks for reporting this.
