     Thanks, now it completes almost instantly and I get two lovely
     plots on-screen.  (I have no idea how to interpret these plots.
     I need to study more statistics.)


Basically, if the dots follow the line, then the data is normally
distributed.

try it with the following : 

INPUT PROGRAM.
        LOOP #I=1 TO 50.
             COMPUTE X=UNIFORM(10).
             END CASE.
        END LOOP.
        END FILE.
END INPUT PROGRAM.


EXAMINE /x
        /STATISTICS=DESCRIPTIVES
        /PLOT = NPPLOT
        .

and then try again substituting NORMAL for UNIFORM.


Regarding getting 15GB of output, do you think it would be a good idea
to have a SET subcommand to limit the amount of output that can be
created?

Or perhaps a per driver configuratoin option.
