I had it backwards in the contents of the two bin directories. Really hard to keep straight what I see on the tiny screen. SystemFolders_j_ shows ~bin pointing to the executables and all other folders to the sdcard file system. The second bin folder containing the profile script is in the same directory as the other SystemFolders_j_ pointers. I ran into this when the Files lab couldn't find profile.ijs .
There is little reason for accessing profile.ijs in J applications, so it is not a big deal that it is not in the same directory as the executables as in Windows and Linux. But is it really worth having a second bin folder when its contents are quite small? What about addons that include executables? How is that to be handled? Android has a strange file system. It has an sdcard which is not really an sdcard. And it's really hard to put anything on a real sdcard if one is installed. Installed an sdcard to free up space on the phone and intended to be able to have my pictures etc. removable in case the phone crashed. Also to free up space on the phone by moving apps to it. Funny thing. The apps I could move went to the internal sdcard, not the external one. Still not sure where my pictures and videos are.
