I figured out how to do what I wanted: . . . . . . goto_stop. . . . . . . label_stop. )
The name "stop", of course, can be any label name you wish. In effect, this pattern can be used to "rem out" (remark out) any portion of code that you don't want executed at a particular moment of testing. I presume, as well, that you could conceivably have more than one of these pairs as long as the labels ("stop" in this case) are different. (However, I am by no means an expert in J concerning the latter point.)
