+The Kruskal-Wallis test is used to compare data from an 
+arbitrary number of populations.  It does not assume normality.
+The data to be compared are specified by @var{varlist}.
+The categorical variable determining the groups to which the
+data belongs is given by @var{var}. The limits @var{lower} and
+@var{upper} specify the valid range of @var{var}. Any cases for
+which @var{var} falls outside [@var{lower}, @var{upper}] will be
+ignored.
+
+The mean rank of each group as well as the chi-squared value and significance
+of the test will be printed.
+The abbreviated subcommand  K-W may be used in place of KRUSKAL-WALLIS.
