In my experience, that setting can be easy to ignore. 

I wonder if you don't select line 1 if the checkbox should default to selected? Or maybe it should be moved to the top.

Do you mean, how do you do it from the GUI? There is a checkbox in the import interface that says "Line above selected line contains variable names." Select the first line of data and then check the checkbox:

When I import a csv file into PSPP it never captures the field titles appearing on the first row of the csv file into the variable names.  Instead, those field titles appear on the first row.  I have tried the documentation and searching for how to do that on SPPS websites, but what where they say to do that does not seem to exist in PSPP.  I also was not able to copy and paste those titles from Excel into the Variables page of PSPP.

How can I get those csv field names to get into the PSPP variable names?
