Thank you VERY much! I wish someone along the line had merely said something like, "Have you tried the 'prompt' verb in the 'misc' library?" That verb is exactly what I was looking for in terms of user input, and it works fine to do what I wanted. I didn't even know it existed. (This is where an index or annotated list of ALL library verbs in the J system available to a programmer would be of great use.) Just a word about my desiring this style of user input/output. I KNOW that a GUI interface is better, and that's eventually where I want to go with it. But I was trying to follow the J programming paradigm where you get the program logic right first, and then flesh it out. That's why I wanted to use the quick and dirty approach for user input/output to get the whole thing working right as quickly as possible (without using valuable programming time for the effort necessary to get GUI aspects just right). Once I know the code is working, then I can go back and make it look fancier.
