I have not thought about this very deeply. My current impression is that truly general cases would run into issues reminiscent of the halting-problem. One issue is that maybe half the words in J derive new verbs. Another is that for this to work, you must have consistent data types But restricted cases should be doable. For example, imagine transforming a script, replacing =: with some expression which wraps the following tokens (other than a comment) in a parenthesis and affixes an adverb which does something special for verbs. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
