What would be a more general way to put it, instead of
many, A
reduce or scan this
would be of the form:
many
scan/reduce to form a fork
fork apply A
I inherently dislike
catenate A to many
scan or reduce
Cheers.

I looked on the wiki for a scan tutorial and found this:
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/OlegKobchenko/Ways_to_Scan?highlight=%28scan%29
but then I immediately hit a problem.
c=. '(' , [ , ')' ,~ ]
'a' c 'b' c 'c'
(a(bc))
That was all well and good, but I wanted a more "pictorial" way to form
the
string, so I tried to move the "]" inside the parenthesis, since that is
what c
does... 'b' c 'c' creates (bc) and so I wanted the verb to look the same
way too.
So I tried:
c=. '(' , [ , ] , ')'
but I got a syntax error when I tried to run it.
At first I thought this was because I was supplying "," with a verb
argument and
it only takes two nouns... i.e., ')' , ] works because "]" gets the right
arg
and returns a noun so that , has two nouns to work on.
But if that is the case then after ')' ,~ ] we have [ , 'c)' which means
that
"," still has to work on a verb argument as opposed to a noun argument.
So why is it that [ , 'c)' will work but my attempt to have
] , ')' work will not?
