    The manipulated data box is used to alter a data file. Inside the box you may:<br>
    <br>
    Interpolate a Missing Value value (an asterisk) whereever values are missing
    in the data file.<br>
    Insert the modal value of a discrete variable wherever values of that variable
    are missing in the data file. (Better interpolations are coming). Produce a
    data set with multiplications of cases.. Each case is multiplied by the number
    in the leftmost column of the Data file input to the Manipulated Data Box.<br>
    <br>
    Once it has been run, the Manipulated Data box works just like any other Data
    Box<br>
    <br>
    Note one programming oddity: if you wish to discretize a continuous variable,
    you must do so inside the Data Box that holds the data file,not inside the Manipulated
    Data box.<br>
