each containing one boxplot per dependent variable.
If the /COMPARE subcommand is ommitted, then PSPP uses the default value of
/COMPARE=GROUPS.
+
+The ID subcommand also pertains to boxplots. If given, it must
+specify a variable name. Outliers and extreme cases plotted in
+boxplots will be labelled with the case from that variable. Numeric or
+string variables are permissible. If the ID subcommand is not given,
+then the casenumber will be used for labelling.
The CINTERVAL subcommand specifies the confidence interval to use in
calculation of the descriptives command. The default it 95%.
INCLUDE means they are to be included. The default is EXCLUDE.

+The @cmd{RELIABILTY} command performs reliablity analysis on the data.
+
+The VARIABLES subcommand is required. It determines the set of variables
+upon which analysis is to be performed.
+
+The SCALE subcommand determines which variables reliability is to be
+calculated for. If it is omitted, then analysis for all variables named
+in the VARIABLES subcommand will be used.
+Optionally, the @var{name} parameter may be specified to set a string name
+for the scale.
+
+The MODEL subcommand determines the type of analysis. If ALPHA is specified,
+then Cronbach's Alpha is calculated for the scale. If the model is SPLIT,
+then the variables are divided into 2 subsets. An optional parameter
+@var{N} may be given, to specify how many variables to be in the first subset.
+If @var{N} is omitted, then it defaults to one half of the variables in the
+scale, or one half minus one if there are an odd number of variables.
+The default model is ALPHA.
+
+By default, any cases with user missing, or system missing values for
+any variables given
+in the VARIABLES subcommand will be omitted from analysis.
+The MISSING subcommand determines whether user missing values are to
+be included or excluded in the analysis.
+
+The SUMMARY subcommand determines the type of summary analysis to be performed.
+Currently there is only one type: SUMMARY=TOTAL, which displays per-item
+analysis tested against the totals.
