Maybe. If you pass multiple arguments to a verb you also have to include explicit steps to construct the argument list. With certain kinds of arguments this can work well, but not always. One issue is noun and verb rank (which is to say: how the structure of your verbs relate to the structure of your nouns). A related issue is boxing and depth. In particularly complicated cases you might wind up needing to work with references (and their associated lack of rank), but currently J only gives you verb rank for one argument and two argument combinations. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
