The information should be in the ref page for j.parameter as well.\r\n\r\nIn addition similar information should be present in the help and ref files for j.message and j.return. In these help files we also need to document the type none that is not used with j.parameter.\r\n\r\nOne question to consider here is how to make this DRY. We could make a separate patch embedded as a bpatcher in all three help files, but I'm not necessarily convinced that this will be the best way forward. I'll contemplate this as I move forward with revising help files for j.message and j.return once the help file for j.parameter is complete."}}
