In my view we are only using these as the page names because the wiki & html won't allow us to use the symbols themselves. On the forum and wiki in general I expect that we will continue to just use the symbols themselves or perhaps the English name given to the actual verb we are interested in (e.g. Ceiling ). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
