Ah ha..
this is an interesting one

1a)
I noticed a while back that I could use the ..\.. (etc etc) notation
to move up and out of the the j602 directory to search where i wanted.
(Bjorn could have used . to extend beyond Project and User)

But I don't think this allows me to move away from the drive where J
is installed.

Example:
    'this is a little test for FiF: word insert' (1!:2)<'..\insert.txt'
Searching for string 'insert_this' with '..' in the 'In Folders' field returns:
c:\jsoftware\j602\..\insert_this.txt (1)
insert_this

Is there a way to override the 'c:\joftware\j602\'  prefix? (other
than hacking fif.ijs)
FiF is really very useful but running J from a USB stick install would
limit the it searching the stick.

1 b)
It would be neat if variable substitution aka perl was possible - for example:
 ..\..\$pathx\conf\
where, in the current locale,
  pathx=:Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0'
or in named locale
 ..\..\$pathx_locale123_\conf\


2a)
When the FileType field is empty (or blank) then switching to the Help
tab and back again causes an error:
error in: fif_tabs_button
domain error:wd
wd'setselect etype ', ":j i. <FIFTYPE

2 b)
Would be nice if FileType honoured the text entered - (e.g. a type of
myx is ignored - must select 'All' instead)

David
