-J supports direct specification of numbers by base, as in these examples:
+J supports direct specification of integers by base.  The numbers are expressed as the base to be used (using base 10), the letter b, followed by the number itself.  Following the initial letter b, other (lower case) letters represent "digts" 10 (a) through 35 (z), as in these examples:
-<lang j>   2b100 8b100 10b100 16b100 36b100 36bzy
+<lang j>   2b100 8b100 10b_100 16b100 36b100 36bzy
