Ric, I read through the whole thread and I think you were hoping for a reference in the J documentation to the parsing rules for trains involving conjunctions. Chapter 15 of "LJ" (Learning J, by Roger Stokes) covers this, and explains why the noun argument to a (V C) bident is on the left but produces the same verb result as V C (noun) in ordinary execution. I had similar difficulty with the syntax of chains other than verb hooks and forks until I came upon this reference.
I am still a bit puzzled by references elsewhere in the documentation (J5.01 Non-Compatible Changes) to various classes of tridents and bidents no longer working with J 5.01. If someone could clear this up it would be helpful. Dick V. This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain information that is confidential or privileged.
