First mail was declined by the mail server by some reason.
Hi,
Looking at this file I started to realize what I miss something.
What do the negative values of the first argument mean?
From a software point of view it is hard to get if the negative arity
means, there are some values with -3 or even -4 there.
For example we have
help_def(-1, "\\", "Scan", "Reduce of all prefixes of B
al
and
help_def(-1, "⍀", "Scan", "Reduce of all prefixes
Both of these operators.
Maybe we need to have a defined meaning for these values (if there is no
right now) and change the help.def accordingly?

Hi,

Thanks!

But still can's see the difference between -3 and -4. Probably it is not
necessary?
