Currently, the "Multiple Users" section for the mac says:

-------

Mac

If you put j804 in Applications, the J icons are already there in the
j804 folder. If J is somewhere else you can create alias links for the
J icons in Applications as follows:

in J folder press ctrl, click red J icon, click Make Alias
drag j804 alias to Applications
rename alias to just be j804
repeat steps for yellow J icon if desired
Create symlinks as appropriate.

------

And I guess this would work, but it is not really what I have done, on my mac.

(1) I did not rename the directory, so its name j64-804. I don't have
a problem with this.
(2) I one symlink. See below.
(3) I have not created any aliases, and am not quite sure why I would
want to create any.

I *did* have to double click on each of those J icons and respond to a
yes/no prompt before they would work properly. This is because J was
downloaded. I had to do this twice for JHS, for some reason (perhaps
because it's a web server), but only once for the others.

I created a jconsole symlink from a bin directory in my $PATH to
/Applications/j64-804. This lets me use jconsole from Terminal. (I
also have started finding J shell scripts useful, but that's a topic
for another conversation.)

----

I could update the wiki to match my use pattern, but would that be
appropriate? Obviously different people have different ideas about the
right way to do things.

Thanks,
