Kip, Your response made me compare the use of 3 and 13. 

   f=: 13 :'%+/%y'
   g=: 3 :'%+/%y'
   
   f 2 4
1.33333
   g 2 4
1.33333
   
   f
[: % [: +/ %
   g
3 : '%+/%y'


What I like best are the trees when I'm lost in the forest!

    5!:4 <'f'
  -- [:          
  +- %           
--+    -- [:     
  L----+- / --- +
       L- %      
   
   5!:4 <'g'
      -- 3        
-- : -+- ,:'%+/%y'

Why don't you just do

   pr =: 3 : '%+/%y'

?
