Of course I should have said try to reimplement it _tacitly_ without being sneaky. Of course you could wrap @. in an explicit verb (and so get the reusability of a verb but the full power of @. with a noun right argument), but challenge is to do it tacitly. The impetus for this thread was a desire for a tacit verb to apply gerunds to items. The tacit verbs I posted took this a step further and permitted the execution of arbitrary noun phrases (which is about as powerful as a verb can get), and did so quoting the absolute minimum amount of code (the "stupid J trick"). -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
