This includes an introduction to the basic procedures in SPSS -
 http://www.ismail.tripod.com/spss.htm

I found that reference at the webpage of Bruce Weaver
 www.angelfire.com/wv/bwhomedir/

Another place that might be useful is -
 http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/spss/examples/default.htm

The newsgroup that deals most often with SPSS questions is
comp.soft-sys.stat.spss
