Sigh...
As I poked around I was astounded at what did work. Except for lab errors 
(resulting from uninstalled addins) I found little that didn't work. I was 
getting my hopes up that when a jal workaround was devised anything would be 
possible. The bullet statement worked as advertised, but seemed to hint at 
something more: a command line interface?, an event handler?

Perhaps a Hiosnotavailable to keep us from lusting after documented, but 
unavailable features, and to keep newcomers from thinking they are seeing bugs. 

I had long ago despaired of seeing J on my iPhone, and am delighted and 
impressed to see what has been done.
