In article <14869@umd5.umd.edu> jph@astro.umd.edu (J. Patrick Harrington)
writes that with J4.1 he is able to do things like

	    a=. (1+i.3) */ 1 10
	    a * 1 _1
	1 _10
	2 _20
	3 _30

but that with J5.1 he gets a length error.  I too got a
length error with J5.1, but I also found that both of the
expressions

    a * "1 ( 1 _1) 
    a (* "1) 1 _1

gave the desired result.
