STEST/MEAN table col1 col2 
	student t-test for different means
\us\pu
Purpose:      
             Given two columns of a table, performs the Student t-test
             for significantly different means
\up\sy
Syntax:       
             STEST/MEAN table col1 col2 
\ys\pa
             table = name of the table
\ap\pa
             col1  = first column
\ap\pa
             col2 = second column
\ap\no
Note:        
             The data sets are assumed to be drawn from populations with the 
             same variance. The command will return the value of Student's t 
             as well as the probability of exceeding its value under the Null 
             Hypothesis, the Null Hypothesis being : \\
             "The data sets have consistant means"
