In addition to Erik's comment (current directory should just work for jconsole), I thought you might like to be reminded that if you set environmental variables (for example, in a shell script), you can access them from J using 2!:5 Thus, for example, you could set your current working directory into a CWD environmental variable, and use 1!:44]2!:5'CWD' inside your jwd session. (Though I expect you would find it more convenient to use something like CWD=:2!:5'CWD' and use that as a prefix on an as-needed basis.) That said, I imagine it might be nice if jpath_j_ supported a ~wd prefix which was treated consistently across jconsole and jwd (I am imagining this would be the startup working directory, regardless of any use of 1!:44). -- Raul -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
