We might be able to get an editing mode working, but it is highly
unlikely that we'll get process interaction under Windows. Last I
checked, Unix SPSS is deprecated, and going away?
I suspect that we'll remove that at some point; unfortunately, there
is little rationale reason to use SPSS, except for:
1. it might be required by someone important to do something.
2. you need a cut-and-click tool,
especially since R now will read some SPSS data formats.
However, we've never said no to contributions, and I personally would
be happy to help with writing an editing mode, and exploring process
interface possibilities.
