See also the passage in http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dicte.htm that reads: > unassigned name being treated as a verb Obviously, this does not require only verbs to be stacked as names. But if only verbs are stacked by name, then the only names on the stack would be verbs, and treating unassigned names as verbs would be the only useful thing to do (OTOH, it's the only way to make delayed definition useful, with either definition of "proverb"). -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
