My point is for a non-trivial verb, how can I cram this in one DD line.

One way is to perform the definitions in-line:

4 : 'la - sm [ la =. x >. y [ sm =. x <. y'

There is also Michal Wallace's proposal to use '..' as a sentence separator, with which you might write:

4 : 'la =. x >. y .. sm =. x <. y .. la - sm'

That is the same as:

4 : 0
la =. x >. y
sm =. x <. y
la - sm
)

We can substitute the intermediate variables:

4 : 0
(x >. y) - (x <. y)
)

And collapse onto one line: 4 : '(x >. y) - (x <. y)'

Worth noting is that we can write this as a fork: >. - <.

PosDiff =: 4 : ('la =. x >. y' ; 'sm =. x <. y' ;  'la - sm')

How do I transfer this in a single line direct definition?
