Merci John

That is what I am doing but it is exactly what I want to avoid - I used
TextPad up until SPSS 15 which was a very powerful editor but to the best of
my knowledge it doesn't work with SPSS 16 and higher.
I am not a programmer but I can't get my head around why the Syntax Editor
has been pretty much neglected while IBM/SPSS adds all those other bells and
whistles to the package.
I would be more than happy to use a third party software like Textpad as a
Syntax Editor if I can parse commands to SPSS but essentially forcing me to
copy/paste back and forth for a package that costs several thousands of
dollars seems odd to say the least.
