Hi Anson, 'conversion' means to extract the values from that file (for the specific structure(s)) and put them into a format that can be read by your program (SPSS). For the stats you would not use qdec anyway (you could use mri_glmfit).
You may want to check out asegstats2table and aparcstats2table to grab the values from the stats files and put them into a table format.
