No. To distinguish between lexical and dynamic scope, you need nested scopes. J does not allow nested scopes. J allows you to emulate lexical and/or dynamic scoping with locales, but that's something the programmer has to implement, and the fundamental mechanics there have differences from both lexical and dynamic scope. -- Raul -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
