More about that table ...

Code:

for $b = 1 to 15
$c = split("- . : .: :: | " + $a)
$a = $a + $c[$b] + "| "
next



If one is able to bring the number of $vars down from 3 to 2 - and still keep the same number of strokes - then one should be able to remove the DIM of the $var - and save like three strokes !

I've been staring at this table for days - with zero luck.

For reference - here is the absolute max way of defining the table:

$c = split("- . : .: :: | .| :| .:| ::| || .|| :|| .:|| ::|| ||| .||| :||| .:||| ::|||")
