A J language problem

I am exploring the J language for scientific purposes and am running this Fibonacci number code. Does anyone know how to add up the values in each of the four columns?

   NB. Fibo101.ijs
   NB. Fibonacci numbers
   NB. using J language free from www.jsoftware.com

   NB. F creates a list of the first 64 Fibonacci numbers
   F =: ((, [: +/_2&{.)^:62)0 1x

   NB. Show the numbers arranged in 4 columns
   _4 [\ F  
            0             1             1             2
            3             5             8            13
           21            34            55            89
          144           233           377           610

You probably solved it by now. I also reminded little about J. I got this basically from imitation of documentation example.

   t =: _4 [\ F
   cs =: ,.@; +/

Oh yes, J language is powerful but rather cryptic, so I want to salute pyTony for coming up with a solution!

I meant to give you this hint ...

   NB. exploring J lists
   NB. using J language free from www.jsoftware.com
   NB. see http://www.jsoftware.com/help/learning/contents.htm


   NB. create a list of integers 0 to 11
   mylist =: i. 12

   NB. Show the numbers arranged in 4 columns
   _4 [\ mylist 
0 1  2  3
4 5  6  7
8 9 10 11

   NB. sum up each column
   +/ _4 [\ mylist
12 15 18 21

Yes it is easy to get the sum added, but tough to get it boxed. I still did not unscramble the method used. Simple solution would of course be:

t,+/t

Thank y'all!
I studied up a little and came to these insights:

   NB. a simple 3 by 4 array ...
   array34 =: i. 3 4

   array34
0 1  2  3
4 5  6  7
8 9 10 11

   NB. this sums up each column
   +/ array34
12 15 18 21

   NB. link (;) box values original array34 (,.) and summed up (+/)
   box_vertical =: ,. @; +/
   box_horizontal =: ,. ; +/

   box_vertical array34

Nice J experiment Tony!

J is full of surprises ...

   NB. try this ...
   += i. 5
1 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0
0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 1 0
0 0 0 0 1

Oh, I got it indexes are same for the diagonal, this seems to also do it:

You could of course do tables with two arguments

Breaking down the given fibonacci definition as my own:

   sum_2 =: , [: +/_2&{. NB. take last two, sum and append result at end
   fib =: 3 : '(sum_2 ^: (y - 1)) 0x 1x' NB. y + 1 values of fibonacci 
   fibn =: 13 : '{: fib y'
