+These subcommands, which are synonyms, control the journal.  The
+default is ON, which causes commands entered interactively to be
+written to the journal file.  Commands included from syntax files that
+are included interactively and error messages printed by PSPP are also
+written to the journal file, prefixed by @samp{>}.  OFF disables use
+of the journal.

+The journal is named @file{pspp.jnl} by default.  A different name may
