Same here. Fresh startup of J, Alt-S,Alt-L,down,down,Alt-R -> runs "A Taste of J (2)" Then Alt-S,Alt-L,down,Alt-R -> bell sound and nothing happens; have to TAB (which makes the "Run" button active) and hit Enter. Win2KProSP4, J601o (haven't got round to p yet). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
