Subject:      need basic reference
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hello,
I'm new to this list and need some basic guidance.  I've been using the
newer versions of SPSS with 'point & click' functions for analysis.  Now
I find that I need to learn how to write some syntax commands in order
to work with large database files prior to analysis.  Can anyone suggest
a basic reference (with examples) on "how-to" write SPSS syntax?  I am
aware of the SPSS Syntax Reference book ...what do you think of this for
a beginner?   Are there any that are more simple to use?
Thanks for any help.
