I should add 2 small points here: 1.The one line correction. My intent was to keep things simple, also retaining the focus on the ease of using numbered licales. And it worked for me on my windows pc and my Ipad. That is why I did not add more code or warnings about its limitations But I like the little bit of J magic dust in the line creating the array of numeric locales with the use of @. And I would add that anyone contemplating the use of numeric locales should not have problems with that bit of code.
2. Correcting the wiki. Following the instructions found in the wiki I did request permission to make the change. I indicated the page I intended to correct and that my change had been suggested by Henry Rich. After a week, having received no reply, I posted the simple correction.
