I think you are mistaken. Consider [: % *: Before the introduction of cap's special treatment during parsing, the TRIDENT parsing handler would have formed a fork from these three verbs. [: has no side effect -- in fact it never does anything -- and in this context, it is nothing but information. Also, no J adverbs are involved here (except in analogies). -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
