There is no direct equivalent of )clear, because the session is written in J. Clearing all definitions would render the session unusable. Essentially what you want is to reload the profile, and delete any names that were not created by the profile. Reloading J is the easy way to achieve this. You can clear names in any locale. To clear the base locale, just enter clear''. In practice, I rarely bother to clear names or even to look at what names have been defined. J can run silently when running an application, but a development system requires an ijx. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
