PSPP-BUG: [bug #61046] sps files do not open automatically by PSPP

[elias tsolis]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #61046 (project pspp):

I finally made pspp to open automatically sps files. I do not know why pspp
did not open them automatically. Maybe it was a problem in ubuntu (?)

Ubuntu V20.04 
Pspp v.1.5.2
