[Jprogramming] Assignment concluding explicit definition has implied Same

[Sherlock, Ric]

On this page http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/d310n.htm
it states that:
"The explicit result is the result of the last non-test block sentence executed"
And here http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/ctrl.htm
It states:
"The final result is the result of the last sentence executed that was not in a T block, and if there is no such last executed sentence, the final result is i.0 0 ."

I think Tracy is asking for pointers to documentation that explains why, if the last sentence of an explicit verb is an assignment (eg. b=: 99), that the result of the verb is 99. This seems a bit strange because when that sentence when executed in the session, no result is displayed. It is as though the last sentence of an explicit verb is executed with an implied ']' (ie. ]b=: 99 )
