+factors specified then @subcmd{TOTAL} and @subcmd{NOTOTAL} have no effect.
+
+
+The following example will generate descriptive statistics and histograms for
+two variables @var{score1} and @var{score2}.
+Two factors are given, @i{viz}: @var{gender} and @var{gender} BY @var{culture}.
+Therefore, the descriptives and histograms will be generated for each
+distinct value
+of @var{gender} @emph{and} for each distinct combination of the values
+of @var{gender} and @var{race}.
+Since the @subcmd{NOTOTAL} keyword is given, statistics and histograms for
+@var{score1} and @var{score2} covering the whole dataset are not produced.
+@example
+EXAMINE @var{score1} @var{score2} BY
+ @var{gender}
+ @var{gender} BY @var{culture}
+ /STATISTICS = DESCRIPTIVES
+ /PLOT = HISTOGRAM
+ /NOTOTAL.
+@end example
+
+Here is a second example showing how the @cmd{examine} command can be used to find extremities.
+@example
+EXAMINE @var{height} @var{weight} BY
+ @var{gender}
+ /STATISTICS = EXTREME (3)
+ /PLOT = BOXPLOT
+ /COMPARE = GROUPS
+ /ID = @var{name}.
+@end example
+In this example, we look at the height and weight of a sample of individuals and
+how they differ between male and female.
+A table showing the 3 largest and the 3 smallest values of @var{height} and
+@var{weight} for each gender, and for the whole dataset will be shown.
+Boxplots will also be produced.
+Because @subcmd{/COMPARE = GROUPS} was given, boxplots for male and female will be
+shown in the same graphic, allowing us to easily see the difference between
+the genders.
+Since the variable @var{name} was specified on the @subcmd{ID} subcommand, this will be
+used to label the extreme values.
