I last used SPSS on a mainframe computer (VAX/VMS) in
1986, and I can remember using it from the
command line.
I am new to PSPP and I would like to try learning by
using it in the same way I did with SPSS.
I recently downloaded PSPP by doing the
following:
2.
Under Binaries, Windows – I clicked
Installers
3.
Under Downloads I chose the most
recent 32-bit version, which was PSPP_2016-09-27_daily_32bits
4.
Then went through the installation
process, which seemed to go OK.
5.
I got the pie chart icon and the
PSPP user’s guide on my desktop.
When I double click the PSPP icon, that actually runs
PSPPIRE and puts me in the data editor.
From there I can’t see how to get from PSPPIRE to the
command line.
The user guide gives lots of useful information about
what to do at the command line once you get there, but I can’t find how to move
between PSSPIRE and PSPP command line.
I was able to go to DOS and change to the directory
containing the PSPP application, then type PSPP to get the command prompt (i.e.
PSPP>).
Will I need to do this every time, or
can I set up in such a way that I can
double click an icon that takes me to the command prompt?
