Dear PSPP developers,

First, thanks so much for this program! I am really glad it is available and 
use it regularly.
One feature I really miss though is the possibility of calculating a rank 
correlation - I need this so often as I work with a lot of data where the 
distribution is not normal and every time I start looking around if this is 
really not possible with PSPP. It seems such a small and basic thing but so far 
I have not encountered a solution. Is this really the case? I have a hard time 
believing this as there are so many much more advanced functions available for 
analysis. Is there maybe a way via the syntax, like with the Kruskal Wallis 
test and other nonparametric procedures? I see it listed in the manual under 
"CORR" but there is no information on how to make it happen anywhere and if I 
set the variable types to "ordinal" I still get a Pearson correlation according 
to the output.

Another side note is that it would be fantastic if at some point it would be 
possible to copy directly from the output instead of having to save it first as 
a different file type - but that is relatively minor while the missing Spearman 
option is really a problem for me.

Thank you very much for your reply in advance,
Lisa
