Paul, your current tacit formulation is buggy:
SymbolExist 'paul'
0
s:<'paul'
`paul
SymbolExist 'paul'
0
(for the reasons why, see an earlier message I sent you:
http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/general/2007-May/029982.html )
I posted a tacit SymbolExists verb earlier today:
http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2007-September/008221.html .
Since only you have your symbol data, you might want to compare it to your
explicit version. Of particular note: it uses e.
instead of i. which is probably faster, for this purpose (i.e. e. -: #@:]
~: i.~ but e. is more optimized than the latter
verb).
