Hi all, sorry for my last email. I got it in my inbox and after reading it I felt I was a bit rude. I didn't mean to do that. Sorry John and thanks for trying to help. I'm just too dumb to understand some stuff, that's all. apologies again.
I've been playing around with it and I think I've got it now. Thanks and sorry again.

I'm sorry but I thought I had explained that I don't know much (at all!) about computers. I have no idea how to find out which version I'm using and I guess my windows is xp, but I'm not sure either. In regards to responding my questions, would someone be able to explain in more detail how the 'conventional fashion' works, because I clearly don't know, otherwise I would not have asked. Also, although I have read the manual, as I said I'm not good with computer language so I had a hard time following it; telling me to look at the manual did not help much. Anyone else keen to help?

Sometimes people have what they think is "most recent", but there have since been other versions released. Also, it means that your message is more helpfull for archive purposes - somebody reading the list in 6 years' time will wonder what "the most recent" version means. Similarly, Microsoft produce a number of different editions of their Windows operating system - XP, Windows7 etc. and many versions and "patchlevels" within them. Sometimes it could be relevant to an issue, so it's best to be as specific as possible. I'm trying to copy some data from one .sav file into a new one I've just created. Is there a way of selecting some data to copy and then paste into this new file? In the datasheet, you can use the clipboard to copy and paste in the conventional fashion. However this is only practical for small to medium sized files. For something bigger, see the section in the manual entitled "Combining Data Files". Also, I'm creating a new variable (1 and 2) so I can identify the two sets of data (the one I'm copying in and the one I already have there); do I need to manually put 1 and 2 for all my cases, or is there a way of copying and pasting cases within the same file? You will notice that the above mentioned manual section describes a /IN subcommand which can be used to do this automatically.
