+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

+It works by examining the number of times a variable's value crosses a given threshold. 
+The desired threshold must be specified within parentheses.
