Diagnosing something,  I've just typed a couple of variable names,  but got the second one wrong.

Not the original names or values,  but for simplicity,  let's say: 

'aa bb' =. 3 4x

Then typing the correct names produces: 

   aa,bb

3 4

... but here,  bbbbb doesn't exist,  so we normally (?) get what we typed in as an undefined exp:

   aa,bbbbb

3x , bbbbb


Why 3x rather than unqualified 3?


Not at all important to me,  just curious!


Cheers, 


Mike

Display of a verb uses different code, which decorates nouns to show their type.
