If an option is not compulsory, the -syntax- specification (in your
case) would be 
-sig(real 0.95)-. You missed out "real". 

If you are interested in testing for normality, look at -omninorm- from
SSC. 

Despite my joint authorship of the above program, I declare a prejudice
that testing 
for normality is one of the most over-rated statistical activities!

Does not work, either...

This should be:
syntax [varlist(max=1 numeric default=none)], [sig(0.95)]
