This seemed a little strange to me, it does what I expect only when executed
directly and not when called as a name. Here is my session.
llcur =: (18!:5)@(''"_)
llnew =: (18!:3)@(''"_)
llchg =: (18!:4)
(][ [EMAIL PROTECTED])@llcur
(] [ [EMAIL PROTECTED])@llcur

NB. THAT IS WHAT I EXPECTED TO HAPPEN...
NB. BUT WHEN I ASSIGN IT TO A NAME...
NewLocale =: (][ [EMAIL PROTECTED])@llcur

NB. IT DID NOT CHANGE LOCALES,
NB. BUT IT DID CREATE ONE!
