I was actually using rephrasings such as -/ .(*&([smoutput)) and -/ .(([smoutput)@:*) and -/ .(([smoutput)@*) to count how many times multiplication was occurring. So I am not talking about any special code used for -/ .* -- I have not investigated that -- but instead am using -/ .* as an illustration of how . builds monadic verb definitions in the general case. Anyways, . terminates earlier than DET. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
