Dear Tracy, yes, it is just that in my long life so far i have never needed or desired or wanted script files, though i have come across them on the margins of my computer travels.
To me those script files are something for computers to worry about, not humans. J is intriguing that way, humans seem to be doing all that incomprehensible work that one might think computers should look after. I was taught way back when, before many of you were born, always to have lots of NB.'s in the margins so that in the future oneself and so that others can see what you were up to. Hmmmmmm. I was also taught to use the highest possible developed language available and let the computer worry about the details. Of course check and double check for possible errors and troubles. Hmmm. I was also told that J would be good for doing math and statistics. thanks for your kind reply D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
