True, but trivial. There is no such thing as the "right" index, only good (and bad) indices. > But most have more than one site which can be searched. I agree this is a big leg up. This is (one reason) why I participate in code-sharing sites like RosettaCode and Wikipedia. For example, I just added J to Wikipedia's trim page [1]. But I was asking more along the lines of: what ideas, methods, tools, or technologies do other languages use to satisfy "how do I" questions, in the language's primary online documentation? Or, perhaps, how do users expect to be able to ask these types of questions, and how can we improve the answers? When someone wants to know "how do I trim in J", do they ask Google first? The J Wiki? Find-in-Help-Files in the J session? The Ndx? -Dan PS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(programming)#J ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
