Tom - This really ought to work, even under Linux: 2!:55 '' where the argument to "2!:55" is an empty vector (two single-quotes). Since I define "q" for myself, (i.e. it's not a standard verb) I'm not surprised that that didn't work.
Since I usually use "2!:55" with an empty vector argument (''), does that mean I'm not giving a return code? Would that be like a "void" or "void *" return in C?
