     Hello,
     
     I am likely missing this info from the PSPP documentation, but I can't
     seem to find how to change the variables listed in the various PSPPIRE
     dialog boxes to show variable names, as opposed to variable labels. In
     SPSS this is done by Edit > Options > Display/show variable names. Is
     there a way to do this with PSPP, perhaps via syntax? Many of my Stats
     students have started using PSPP this semester to avoid rental costs of
     SPSS and I didn't notice that the GUI defaulted to variable labels and
     not names (I always run syntax in PSPP). They're having a hard time
     finding the variables they need, especially in large datasets.


I don't think there is any way to change this globally.  But if you right 
click on the dialog box, and on the popup-menu unselect the checkbox 
"Prefer value labels",  then you will get names through-out that dialog
box.

I hope this helps.
