They are the same command. If you don't believe me click on "Paste" in the
Explore dialog box.

Thanks, John, for the prompt reply!
But Examine and Explore are two different commands in terms of what these
do!
The syntax for Examine, as you know, is as follows:
EXAMINE
?????????????? VARIABLES= var1 [var2] ??? [varN]
???????????????????? [BY factor1 [BY subfactor1]
???????????????????????? [ factor2 [BY subfactor2]]
???????????????????????? ???
???????????????????????? [ factor3 [BY subfactor3]]
?????????????????????? ]
?????????????? /STATISTICS={DESCRIPTIVES, EXTREME[(n)], ALL, NONE}
?????????????? /PLOT={BOXPLOT, NPPLOT, HISTOGRAM, SPREADLEVEL[(t)], ALL,
NONE}
?????????????? /CINTERVAL p
?????????????? /COMPARE={GROUPS,VARIABLES}
?????????????? /ID=identity_variable
?????????????? /{TOTAL,NOTOTAL}
?????????????? /PERCENTILE=[percentiles]={HAVERAGE, WAVERAGE, ROUND,
AEMPIRICAL, EMPIRICAL }
?????????????? /MISSING={LISTWISE, PAIRWISE} [{EXCLUDE, INCLUDE}]
???? ?????? ??[{NOREPORT,REPORT}]
EXAMINE
?????????????? VARIABLES= var1 [var2] ??? [varN]
???????????????????? [BY factor1 [BY subfactor1]
???????????????????????? [ factor2 [BY subfactor2]]
???????????????????????? ???
???????????????????????? [ factor3 [BY subfactor3]]
?????????????????????? ]
?????????????? /STATISTICS={DESCRIPTIVES, EXTREME[(n)], ALL, NONE}
?????????????? /PLOT={BOXPLOT, NPPLOT, HISTOGRAM, SPREADLEVEL[(t)], ALL,
NONE}
?????????????? /CINTERVAL p
?????????????? /COMPARE={GROUPS,VARIABLES}
?????????????? /ID=identity_variable
?????????????? /{TOTAL,NOTOTAL}
?????????????? /PERCENTILE=[percentiles]={HAVERAGE, WAVERAGE, ROUND,
AEMPIRICAL, EMPIRICAL }
?????????????? /MISSING={LISTWISE, PAIRWISE} [{EXCLUDE, INCLUDE}]
???? ?????? ??[{NOREPORT,REPORT}]
I guess this command is the only one that exhibits the BOXPLOT.
EXPLORE is limited in this respect.
Examine and EXPLORE are different.
But another problem is effected by having EXAMINE as a functioning command
but is not included in the menu as against EXPLORE which is in the menu but not
in the manual.
Some students of mine have raised these issues and my only defense is lack
of knowledge and exposure in the use of PSPP.
Thanks and I pray that PSPP becomes ever stronger and relevant as the
challenges of data analysis are becoming more and more challenging.

For historical reasons,?? in the GUI, EXAMINE is labelled "Explore".

?? ?? Guys,

?? ?? Thanks to you I have been using PSPP for more than a year now for my
undergrad Social Statistics courses.

?? ?? I am not sure if my concern is right. But the command EXAMINE is in
the manuals.?? My current version does not present EXAMINE as part of the
ANALYSE options nor it is part of the sub-options of other descriptive
statistics commands. However, following the format in the manuals, I am able to
run EXAMINE in the syntax environment.
