Dear KoSy members ,

--

 It's an odd thing to be personally developing and using a
 system and be frequently awed by it .

 The deep coherence of K's structure and the immediacy of
 it's tightly coupled "GUI" , with the reflexive nature of
 CoSy's vocabulary of open sentences ( and a few paragraphs )
 thru which it defines itself isomorphically in K , unfold
 capabilities inconceivable in lesser systems .

 An interesting aspect is that as time go on , I realise
 simpler ways to express things . Recently , I have been
 exploiting more , the equivalence between

  D[ `x ; `y ; `z ]

 and

  D . `x `y `z

 which can be simplified from the general

  D . ( x ; y ; z )

 when  x y and z  are all symbols .

 This becomes particularly useful because

  D . `x.y.z

 throws a "domain error" .

 Here's an example closer to life .
 My main working  Job  is  .CoSy.BobA . It's where
 I keep the timestamped log of my activities , and
 a lot of lines contain mainly timestamps and tags to
 the various Jobs of particular projects and individuals
 I deal on and with during the day .

 I have ended up organizing my personal accounts in Jobs
 for each year . The various account tables , e.g . `chk
 `visa , `cash , et cetera thus have names as in this
 example .

 In  CoSy ,  f6  executes in the dictionary ( Job )
 you are working in .  You can access all the functions
 in the Root dictionary , `.CoSy , using the global
 "Root" tag  .R  which is set to  `.CoSy .

 Thus , working in  .Cosy.BobA.text  , I can write :

  ( .R `avg ) acnts.y2002.cash.amount

 and tap  f6  , and the result ( of this purposely
 meaningless example ) of accessing the  "average"
 function from the Root dictionary , and applying it
 to the amount column from this year's cash account
 is dutifully posted in  r .

 On the other hand ,  f7  executes in the Root
 dictionary after setting the variable `D in
 that dictionary to the name of the one you are
 working in . Thus , as an alternative to the
 above , you can write

  avg D . `acnts `y2002 `cash `amount

 and tap  f7  and get the same result .

 These examples have made clearer to me , the
 profound difference between   @   and   .
 particularly in properly structuring amendment
 expressions of the .[ ; ; ; ] and @[ ; ; ; ]
 variety .
