John,
I know see what you mean, I need to write syntax to do the merge. I was
assuming it would be in the drop downs somewhere, like in SPSS. Gonna
have to read the manual to make sense on how to do it.There's a very good tutorial at http://www.ats.uda.edu/stat/spss/modules/merge.htm All of the examples should work. If you find any that don't then please report it as a bug. As for the copy/paste, even in the 0.7.5-g70514b compile for Windows, I can not copy/paste 100%. I can only do one cell at a time. I need to copy a whole column, of 516 records, but when I do that, it pastes them all into which ever cell I click on in the other file. Even if I highlight multiple cells, it will still just paste it into the first one. Perhaps this is a Windows specific problem. It works fine on GNU/Linux.

The merge command is called MATCH FILES and so far as I know is identical to SPSS. See the manual for details. Likewise, a copy/paste should also work. However since PSPP doesn't currently support multiple datasets, it would be necessary to start two instances of PSPP and copy between them.

I do not see that here. So I tried doing a simple copy/paste, but that too does not work... Any other suggestion on how I can get variable 1 from file A to variable 1 file B?
