The results may be unexpected but they are (probably) correct. The first two results "."0 ": 'a' $ "."0 ": 'a' merely depends on what value has been assigned to the name a . Apparently in your session you had assigned a million-element list to the name a .
For example: a=: 3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 53 58 979 ". "0 ": 'a' 3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 53 58 979 a -: ". "0 ": 'a' 1 The last result $ "."0 ": <'a' further depends on having specify box drawing characters that are also symbols for verbs. For example: 9!:7 ]9 1 1#'+|-' ": <'a' +-+ |a| +-+ "."0 ": <'a' 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 53 58 979 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 $ "."0 ": <'a' 3 3 11 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Donovan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <programming@jsoftware.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 1:07 AM Subject: [Jprogramming] Unexpected results in J504 ".
