It's okay Bill, I've located the one verb I've used in misc.ijs and copied
it into tte.ijs.

It works fine now in JQt.

But to run: tte.ijs -needs this line inserting in lablist.txt:
Debug;Explicate a given tacit verb;~addons/debug/tte/tte.ijt

   open '~addons/labs/labs/lablist.txt'   NB. -to do the hand-edit

but I don't know how to fix lablist.txt via svn.
