As usual, the apps installed cleanly and quickly, but there is a little quirk on the iPhone. Seems the J icon is replaced by one that has the Welcome to J message (kind of a fly's eye view of the working screen) instead of the stylized J... (this doesn't seem to happen on the iPad) I

I do feel the input textfield is too short now. Also, I pushed the button and got an error. What is its intended function? Also, can we turn off this gate that comes back every time I upgrade, which forces me to step through a bunch of examples before I can type my first sentence in J? Thanks,

I can confirm the Icon corruption that Joey reported. The same thing happened on my iPhone 4. The little new . button return ev_bullet__jevents_ not defined. The combination of __ and _ in one J name looks like a typo. On other notes. I've managed to get a fair chunk of JOD running on the iPhone

The ~user convention is not new to this version of J and has been with J forever. ~user is used by jpath to do the lookup in SystemFolders_j_. Because J iOS is jail rooted you have the coincidence that ~user and ~/user are the same. But they get that way in very different ways. You should use

Not a typo. Read the simple docs. Type abc then press bullet and you'll see _abc_, so the __ is just the case where the command name is empty. I've looked at Dropbox and it seems to be a little more trouble than it is worth. Note that with jfomurl you can easily get a file from any web site. And

Hi Eric, Of all the buttons, the one I think that you may be able to do without is the keyboard button. The keyboard already appears when you tap the text entry field, and it disappears when you click on the screen away from the keyboard. It is nice to have an overt way to bring the keyboard

nix has a similiar convention with ~ that we borrowed. Don't remember exactly, but in nix ~ is home and ~foo is foo's home and there is a way of creating other shorcuts. J has long had the convention that ~ is home and that ~foo looks indirects through SystemFolders_j_ and UserFolders_j_. On

Since SVG is compatible with html5, you can write out SVG code and have it display in the hview. It works well for creating interfaces and mapping applications ( and it is working with hview including previous 5 displays). Would it also be possible to load the documentation through the JAL? I
