Greetings all.
I have searched a lot before posting this (including "Learning J",
"Primer", etc.).
I want to have a character string display when a script loads that
provides information to the script user. E.g., 'F is a dyadic verb,
right arg date1, left arg date2, both dates single numeric ddmmyyyy.'
In APL I used to do this with quadLX (latent expression) which displayed
when the workspace was loaded.
But no matter what I do in a script--mention 'string', OR
banner=:'string' (then mention banner on next line), OR define an
explicit verb banner=: 0 : 0 (and then call banner)--the 'string' will
not display when the script is loaded (as with quadLX).
I just can't spend any more time experimenting. There's a trick to this
in J. Can anyone provide any help with this simple problem?
Best, Tony
