Thanks Ric I wasn't thinking of myself so much, I've got used to the J convention now, but more of what would make a good default startup for a newcomer. I will look at the script though, always nice to see how others do it.
As for the capped fork, yes I can live without it, just about, but I certainly couldn't when I stared out, especially - as I said - since this is the format returned by the 13 : verb. OK, here's another one: I have recently switched over to j701(gtk) from j602. On the whole, I like the new colour-coded approach to verb description, but sometimes, in complex cases, I really appreciated j602's boxing of the structure, which went a long way to make things clear. (one of J's best debugging tools). Is there a way to emulate this under 702gtk?
