[Jprogramming] The Accessible Dictionary released

[Don Kelly]

I can concur- -the difference between *@* and*@:* is important in some 
cases because of rank (which I don't really grasp-- possibly because of 
age related senility, it takes me a bit linger to catch on to such 
things. The problem with the vocabulary and the dictionary references is 
that the examples are often more complex than needed (possibly because  
of a need to be comprehensive within tight limits-and the complications 
that could be clear, rather than buried,  could be handled in a more "J 
for Dummies" way -then WOW!
  If Nuvoc does this then kudos. to all that have worked on this.

I also am very appreciative of the support and guidance given on 
"programming at software.com" .
Thank you all.
