That's good advice. {{ }} does have to scan the lines & handle
recursive definitions.
{{)n
...
}}
creates a noun, similar to 0 : 0, and I don't think it scans the lines.

I'd see how abusing {{ .. }} holds up to abuse. Enclose a few hundred
megabytes of text in curlies and see if J can absorb it without crashing.
To paraphrase, "spare the rod, spoil the software."

I thought of "0 : 0" too as a solution for this but it gets terminated by
any embedded single closing paren which you would have as part of a
function definition.
I like Raul's idea of abusing the double-curlies notation.

In recent J implementations (j902, j903), you can wrap the unwanted
section of the script in {{ }}.
This will defer execution of those lines and then discard them (which
is somewhat fortuitous, since execution of that kind of definition
would probably be bad).
I hope this helps,

Dear list,
if I load a (longer) script, I sometimes want to ignore a part of it
beyond a certain line. Is there a way to achieve that gracefully? (I
sometimes just add something syntactically wrong to stop there, on an
error).
Thank you.
