Atoms has a different meaning in J, but I think he means "words". But words in J can have spaces in them. For example, the following (valid) J sentence contains three words: 1 2 3;'4 5 6' I am not sure how this fits in with the above proposal (which, as an aside might be for a J-like language, but would not be for J itself -- when you change the words you change the language). -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
