thanks. Oleg was warning me in particular after I said I was dyslexic.
I am still looking for my Dictionary of J. Its not so much that I
don't know how to use dictionaries as the length of time since I
programmed or did mathematics and my usual initial shock of new
symbols. Unfortunately the 2nd thing I came to was Help with
Constants and I was more than little slow to catch on.
My musings were to share a naive view as I may always be this dense
but I will not always be this naive. It sometimes provides insight
to teachers and new approaches to see a student's mistakes.

learning is suggested with practical activity by examples in the
subject area close to the learner. Whereas the dictionary
is meant to be a reference source.
