In pre-GUI days, it was often convenient to output a prompt and then input a response on the same line. So the user would see something like:
Sex(M/F): NB. result of first prompt Sex(M/F): M NB. user responds Sex(M/F): M NB. what the user sees after hitting RETURN; Age(yrs): NB. next response now awaited. It used to be possible to do this in the J execution window, in one version (J3?) using wd 'smappend...', and in another (J4?) combining (1!:1) 1 and (1!:2) 2 . However, 1!:1&2 now automatically goes on to the next line after outputting its argument. Is it currently possible to prompt & receive input on the one line?
