Hi Stefan, hi Vasilij, thanks for your response regarding PSPP mode for emacs in GNU Elpa. I think we can simply copy pspp-mode.el to elpa.git and do the necessary modifications there. The keyword list comes from the SPSS command syntax which is also described here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/Command-Index.html#Command-Index <https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/Command-Index.html#Command-Index> SPSS is a commercial statistics software from IBM and PSPP is a GNU free software replacement for SPSS.
