Box name for weighting variable in GUI

[John F Hall]

When using the GUI to apply a weight, the weighting variable has to be transferred to the Frequency Variable box.

This is a slightly confusing box name: should it be renamed Weighting Variable ?

So much easier to write weight by <weightvar>, eg:

weight by pspweight.

John, that is done to stress that this weighting is "frequency weighting". Not, for example, some "importance weighting"
