You are dropping the boxes I want deeper into the pond that has square ripples! 
Somwday I may find that very useful.  For not all is want is the three litte 
boxes with H, I and J to "float" on the surface in a right angle.

Hi Linda,

With an extra level of boxing you could do this
   ]A=:<<<'h'
┌─────┐
│┌───┐│
││┌─┐││
│││h│││
││└─┘││
│└───┘│
└─────┘
   ]B=:<<each 'i';'j'
┌─────────┐
│┌───┬───┐│
││┌─┐│┌─┐││
│││i│││j│││
││└─┘│└─┘││
│└───┴───┘│
└─────────┘
   A,:B
┌─────────┐
│┌───┐    │
││┌─┐│    │
│││h││    │
││└─┘│    │
│└───┘    │
├─────────┤
│┌───┬───┐│
││┌─┐│┌─┐││
│││i│││j│││
││└─┘│└─┘││
│└───┴───┘│
└─────────┘

The extra level of boxing is required so that the shape of the top item can 
match the shape of the bottom item. If you want a top box with one item that 
spans the two lower boxes, I agree with Pascal that this can not be done.  If 
you think about it, what shape would you have such an object be? The shape of 
the single top box or the shape of the lower double box? If I interpret your 
question correctly.

Cheers, bob
