+The /SIGN subcommand tests for differences between medians of the
+variables listed.
+The test does not make any assumptions about the
+distribution of the data.
+
+If the @code{WITH} keyword is omitted, then tests for all
+combinations of the listed variables are performed.
+If the @code{WITH} keyword is given, and the @code{(PAIRED)} keyword
+is also given, then the number of variables preceding @code{WITH}
+must be the same as the number following it.
+In this case, tests for each respective pair of variables are
+performed.
+If the @code{WITH} keyword is given, but the
+@code{(PAIRED)} keyword is omitted, then tests for each combination
+of variable preceding @code{WITH} against variable following
+@code{WITH} are performed.
