+The median test is used to test whether independent samples come from 
+populations with a common median.
+The median of the populations against which the samples are to be tested
+may be given in parentheses immediately after the 
+/MEDIAN subcommand.  If it is not given, the median will be imputed from the 
+union of all the samples.
+
+The variables of the samples to be tested should immediately follow the @samp{=} sign. The
+keyword @code{BY} must come next, and then the grouping variable.  Two values
+in parentheses should follow.  If the first value is greater than the second,
+then a 2 sample test is performed using these two values to determine the groups.
+If however, the first variable is less than the second, then a @i{k} sample test is
+conducted and the group values used are all values encountered which lie in the
+range [@var{value1},@var{value2}].
