Create the lag using /Add/lags of selected variables. In the main window you'll now see a "twisty" next to the original variable, indicating that there's more to see. Click the twisty and the lags will be exposed. Select the original variable and its lag using Shift- or Ctrl-click. Right-click for the popup menu and select X-Y scatterplot. Allin Cottrell
