With first differences, logs, or other transformations, the transformed variables should (obviously) be shown, because you might want to select them for graphing, summary statistics, or whatever. With lags, on the other hand, I can't see any use for them other than as regressors (and they are visible OK in the dialog where you choose regressors). Suppose you have a monthly dataset with several variables, of which you want to have available 12 lags apiece for regression purposes. Showing dozens of such variables in the main window, it seems to me, is just filling the window with trash, making it harder to find variables you might actually want to examine individually. Am I missing something here? Allin Cottrell
