All cross-products and squares
- ------------------------------

	^allcross^ varlist

Description
- -----------

^allcross^ creates variables corresponding to the cross-products and squares of
the variables in varlist.  The names of the created variables are formed by
concatenating the names in varlist involved in the cross-product term.  Since
variable names are limited to 8 characters an error occurs if varlist contains
variables with names longer than 4 characters.

Examples
- --------

	. ^allcross x1 x2 x3^
	. ^allcross x1-x4 age y1-y3^

Note
- ----

The user should be aware that when ^allcross^ is given a large number of 
variables in the varlist that it will end up creating a very large number of 
variables in the user's working data set.  For example, if the user has 30
variables in her data set and executes ^allcross _all^, she will then have
30+(30*31)/2 = 495 variables in her data set.
