This is not the behavior I get. A few things to check:
* What version of J are you running?
* Can you update to the latest version of the library from
http://www.jsoftware.com/jal/j601/library/ ?
* Do you get the correct results if you type 'is'&names_z_ ?
* If so, are you sure you didn't re-define names in one of
your startup scripts? Try typing edit'names' .
* When you type names in the IJX window, what is the definition
displayed?
