What??? What is a variable if you can't change its value? If you can't change its value then it's not a variable. I haven't followed the discussion on the concept of a monad and I would like to understand its significance, but the intro is just too cutesy for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
