Linda,
(and thanks to others who helped before you, too)
Thanks very much for that reference and for the information about how to
access it from the Vocabulary page. That is awesome. I had a little trouble
at first finding "LJ" on the Vocabulary page, because I had not noticed it
before at the top of the page.
I will refer to LJ more often now.
Otoh, doing a search for "_" on the "sparse array" page showed only one hit
and that was for a "cut" example using ;._2 , not a take. I suspect the
problem I had with _5{. would be explained there in LJ but I did not yet
take time to find the explanation. I believe the "screwy" result I got was
actually correct now, thinking about how the result of _5{. being a new
array, only.
