I see, having read some papers about weighting now. What I described
is possible in other statistics software, so I was kind of mislead
into thinking it couldn't be that complicated. (I guess all analyses,
where appropriate, are done with weighted data; if you don't specify a
weight variable, all weights are 1 by default).

I guess it's hard at first to go from point-and-click-analyses to a
deeper understanding of the procedures.

Thank you very much for your help.
