I already did it. Send icons for: scale (date-scale), nominal (date-nominal, 
string-nominal), ordinal (date-ordinal, string-ordinal), these are currently 
supported in SPSS. I also added the option for currency (for the 3 measures).

I did not know that was a target for PSPP.
If so, could there be an option to access that functionality?
It could be as a tab or a button on the toolbar to keep that window (and maybe 
the syntax editor window) in the background in the main window.
When I teach PSPP / SPSS, often hear complaints about that (especially that 
sometimes the window is above the other). I teach to save and keep both files 
and if they can make a copy of syntax procedures (with the button paste) to 
review procedures or errors. For a casual user is usually somewhat complicated 
to handle 2 or more windows of the same application or operating the journal 
file. As I mentioned, it could be an option as offered GIMP (the default 
interface is the classic, single window instead can choose by your preferences).
