Keep in mind, it's not J that displays the data - at least not directly. J asks the OS to display it and the OS passes it on to hardware. In the case of jqt, there's also a qt layer between J and the OS. All those layers make it difficult to see where issues really occur. Maybe that's why we have so many layers (that and many want to help but so few people are willing to understand well enough to clean things up properly). > On another note, there seems to be a case for an extra dyad form for u: . > Say 9 u: > > It would behave as monad u: does for char and wchar, but for any other > argument type (including integers) would return ] y.
