Oh, I missed the  /  originally.  That changes the answer.

And I just realized this is impossible.    5 0 4 1 2 3  is a possible output
of  \:  but  6 1 5 2 3 4 is not.  This looks like you have an origin-1
problem.  Does this question stem from an APL question?  Is that why you
used  ;  rather than  >  ?  

The question of  ;  vs   >  is important in J.  Can you tell us why you
selected  ;  and a case where  6=#;y  but 6~:#>y  ?  Are the results
produced by  F not conformable (identical in shape an type)?

In your example,  F =: 4 : 'x^2 - y^2'  which is a scalar output (for scalar
input).  Can you confirm  F always produces scalar output (for scalar
input)?
