     The compute dialog is used to compute new variables.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The name of the new variable must be a valid R object name
     (consisting only of upper and lower-case letters, numerals, and
     periods, and not starting with a numeral).

     Enter an R expression in the box at the right. The expression is
     evaluated using the active data set. 

     Note that if this expression is later re-executed from the log
     window, it will be evaluated in the global environment; when the
     expression is re-evaluated, the active data set must be attached
     to the search path  and the variables in the expression must not
     be masked by other variables of the same name.
