Good thought, but in this case, I ran the command isolated-- there was no
prior command. That is, I highlighted those lines of my syntax file, and
from the menu chose "Run/selection".
However, I did notice that as SPSS was running the command, the highlighted
portion of the file briefly expanded to include the previous 10 lines or
so, and then shrunk back to the originally highlighted lines. Does that
mean that even though those lines were not selected by me, they were run
anyway? I'll look tomorrow when I'm back at work and can see the file again.
Thanks,
Bob
