Note also that you can usually work around this problem by putting the noun's definition outside of the explicit definition. Since he was translating C code, he was presumably already working with this kind of case. But if you wanted a "non-global" noun, you might promote your explicit definition (replace 4 : with 1 : or replace 1 : with 2 :) and pass the noun in as a parameter at definition time. (My big uncertainty, for this case, was whether C line continuations count as whitespace or not. It has been too long since I have worked in C.) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
