It is not a simple careless putting of a verb to z. Unlike other instances of using z, it manifests the fact that there is a single global time handler for a J session instance. It would be a better approach in more complicated cases with multiple window forms, locales etc. So it is a broader pattern used by convention. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
