Whenever I need more than a line of J (which I can deal with just fine, with control-shift-up), I open a new .ijs window (control-shift-n) and paste in whatever code I am working with and continue from there. I use control-w to execute my window of code. If that code has meaning beyond one session I will eventually give it a new name (and then use either control-o or control-h followed by a double click to select my file and then control-t to make it editable). > Next ... > > What should "next" be?

Personally, I use google searches -- often of the form site:jsoftware.com whatever Also sometimes handy in those searches is inurl:dictionary -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
