First, I think this is the expression you are looking for:
c ($@] $ [ b} ,@]) a
Or, if you prefer:
($a) $ c b} ,a
My guess as to the reason for this is the examples on the two pages
that define item amend.
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/d530n.htm
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/d530v.htm
And my guess for the cause of the difference is editing drift --
probably one was updated to a new concept where the other was not.
I hope this helps,
