Aha!!
Thanks for clearing that up.
I'm sure I'm being dense but I can't work out how the code you sent
would help me define a multiline noun that is _local_ to the verb in
which it is defined. So I can work with the noun while the verb is
executing but once

(Note: the argument to example is irrelevant.)

When you enter example'', J executes 0 :0

In other words, it's waiting for a closing )

To regain control of the system, enter a ) on a line by itself.

Hopefully, future versions of J will be a bit more pleasant in this
circumstance.  (Ideally: title bar or cursor or something indicates that
J is waiting for the block to be closed, and menu works normally.)
