I echo Bob's remarks - adding WOW! Nice job. To be fair, I didn't expect to be as impressed with the local help as I am after trying it. Having Henry's JforCers is really nice for new users. It would be lovely to have an entry document oriented to this new environment, and now the foundations are in place.
Other things that I already use on my iPad include Henry's reference card and Eugene's At Play With J, these I have in iBook where I also have J for C Programmers - comparing flipping back and forth really makes clear how convenient/important the hview help materials are. - joey iPa...
