Gray and Kinnear (both psychology, U. of Aberdeen, Scotland) introduce the software to students who have some knowledge of statistical analysis.

Among their topics are editing data sets, graphs and charts, mixed factorial experiments, the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), and analyzing multiway frequency tables.
