http://www.jsoftware.com/books/pdf/cmc.pdf chapter 5, page 44, says

The binomial theorem expresses a power of a sum (that is, (x+y)^t) as an 
equivalent
weighted sum of products of ascending powers of x and descending powers of y:
    x=: 3 [ y=: 5 [ t=: 4 [. Ei=: i.@>:

I didn't understand [. , nor did the interpreter.

|spelling error
|   x=: 3 [ y=: 5 [ t=: 4 [. Ei=: i.@>:
|                         ^


I guessed that is was supposed to say
   x=: 3 [ y=: 5 [ t=: 4 [ Ei=: i.@>:
but that doesn't work either:
   x
3 [ (5 [ (4 [ (i.@>:)))
   y
5 [ (4 [ (i.@>:))
   t
4 [ (i.@>:)
   Ei
i.@>:
