@Devon - You're most welcome. Which "old one" do you mean? I've never seen an entry for "single quote" on any table with this layout, not even http://jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/vocabul.htm
Offhand I would say that belonged to additional documentation we might have, for number-formats (eg 1r2 1p1 ...), for Controls and Foreigns. IMO the J Dictionary already explains these well enough. But maybe the NuVoc portal should carry links to these extra goodies?
