[Jprogramming] console display verb

[Roger Hui]

It's done in C in the interpreter and it's not a lot
of fun.  You can:

a. Use J itself as a subroutine and capture its
output.

b. Wait for someone in the forum to write one.

c. Write your own.

For option c:

c.0 The verb that Oleg Kobchenko provided works
for nouns, other than the ... thing.

c.1 For non-nouns, you need to take into account
9!:2, which specifies which of the 5!:x 
representation(s) to use.  Use 5!:x to produce the 
noun(s), then use c.0 to handle it/them.

c.2 Once you have the output array, take into 
account 9!:36 to do the ... thing.
