In J803, put the cursor next to * (which is the bit you care about) and
then Ctrl+F1 or Ctrl+Shift+F1.

OK, Maybe something like name <'*y' to get signum.
I find it bothersome to need to go to a brower and vocabulary or wiki if I
could get the name somehow easily where I am working.

The response is not wasteful.
By default, undefined variables are assumed to be verbs, to allow for
building a verb top down eg:
center =: - mean NB. mean not defined here.
mean =: +/%#
If you would enter "center" followed by a return, you do want to see the
hook you just created.
The same goes for x and y, which are only considered "special" in explicit
functions.

But you only get thie "wastegul" response if you are in a new
environment where x and y are unassigned and you want to know the name of
the verb.

If x*y was 'times' what would 2*x*y be? What would (x*y)-1 be?
Also, try this:
9!:3]4
x*y
Or, this:
x=: 2
y=: 3
x*y
Or, if that is still a waste, consider the possibility of doing
something which does not involve a computer - maybe that would be less
wasteful?
Thanks,

Bill, Here's what I mean:
Current response in terminal:
*y
* y
x*y
x * y
What if the response was:
*y
Signum
X*y
times
To me it seem like a wasted response.

In a term or in jijx, you can get definitions:

x=. I. 26 > n=. ((97+i.26){a.) i. t=. ,y

It seems that it might be possible to have theses and all entries
provide the name of the verb. Then you could go to socurces to
find information much more quickly than when you don't know or
remember the
name.
