Devon,

I'm not sure what I would have called my difficulty with understanding
Jon's fine jlearn system, but "de-looping" may be a good choice. To me the
difficulty involves the heavy use of locales, with which I have little
experience. This has meant that trying to trace verb calls and using debug
have been difficult for me. For example when I try to use debug for a verb
like foo__bar, the stop manager in jQt produces a paragraph of lines in the
selected verb but not a list of lines. The paragraph does not permit stop
line selection. I have not tried to use dbss to select stop lines, but
maybe that is possible.

I wonder if the complication locales inserts has been a reason that I have
not been able to find a usable verb/adverb/conjunction cross-reference
script for J.
The jlearn system is really impressive, though. It's documentation is
excellent inside most verbs.
