(1) “Novell-delivered Applications” Window - the “Campus Network” main window; used to access utilities (e.g., email,) and software applications (e.g., SPSS):

(2) Home Directory [{h:} Drive] – campus network drive space assigned to your account; used to store files just like a PC “hard drive” [e.g., {c:}]:

(3) Syntax Code – the actual SPSS “command statements/key words,” (e.g., “data list,” “frequencies variables=”) that are part of the SPSS Program language:

data list records=1/1 subjno 1 groupno 2
 age 3-4.
begin data.
1112
...
end data.
frequencies variables = all.

(4) SPSS Syntax Editor – used to directly type in data and syntax codes to run SPSS analyses using the syntax code commands:

(5) “.SPS” Files – Syntax code files created in the Syntax Window (e.g., Assign1.SPS above); SPSS procedures/analyses are conducted from these files by selecting "Run, All" from the drop-down menu in the Syntax Editor Window.

(6) SPSS Data Editor – used to create files in “spreadsheet” format and to run SPSS analyses using the “point-and-click” method via “drop-down” menus.

(7) “.SAV” Files – spreadsheet files of data that are created in the Data Editor Window (see the "Assign2a.SAV" file above). Remember that the "Syntax Code" for procedures/analyses conducted in the Data Editor are automatically written by SPSS in the "background," but they can be seen by selecting the "Paste" button before running the analysis:

The Syntax Code statements that SPSS writes in the background appear in a Syntax Editor Window following the "Paste" selection:

(8) SPSS Viewer Window – used to view the “output,” or results of SPSS data analyses:

(9) “.SPO” Files – SPSS Viewer files containing the saved output/results of SPSS data analyses (see above "Output1.SPO" file).
