Not quite sure what the problem is ("relate"?) BTW, I just noticed that you
entered "capscore" into the brackets after runiform(). Maybe that frustrated

Perfect...with uniform....
But I still have a problem: I created a normalized variable from 0 to 1
(with the suggested commands) but I could not relate it with the variable
I was interested in.
I mean, I should work with variable's values from 1 to 8 and generate a
new normalized variable from o to 1.
Thanks again
