First, thank you for this release. I have a few
comments mostly about typos, but don't mistake them as
criticism, please.

        The "." at the end of the previous line is not part
of the instruction. Also, in my standard install, that same
line needs to be prefixed with "j601/" .

+ allow x. y. etc. if required (or do 9!:49[1).

        When I Edit|Configure|Parameters the default action
has a checkmark in front of the option "Permit x. y. names
in explicit definitions", which seems to contrast with my
expectations.

        In the OpenGL Lab

-- (7 of 36) OpenGL dlls (ctd)
------------------------------
This section opens a temp script that creates a form with an
OpenGL control. A triangle is drawn in a random color on a
blue background.

If you close the gl3lab form, you can recreate it with
gl3lab''.
)
   nextijs'ogl_simple'
   gl3lab''
paint
new rc


        Notice the last two lines printed out above "paint
and new rc" which result from smoutput's in the lab. They
are helpful, but may not have been your intention.

        If the smoutput's are intended, then I think they
may also help in the next .ijs file: ogl_cube.ijs .

        A non-typo comment has to do with the instruction to
use gl3lab'' to recreate the form. Under what conditions can
the _run part of gl3lab_run'' be eschewed. I don't know
where to look for this feature in the documentation.

Study the script carefully as it shows all the you need to
know about doing OpenGL proramming in J.
