I am now looking in the J docs for ways to configure
the jconsole (terminal). I seem to remember the profile.ijs
or jprofile.ijs is a key file even for jconsole. I want to
start up with box drawing characters as you have suggested
with 9!:7 (16,:11)];.0 a.
I bring a whole tool box in with my profile. The hack that
I use is to add the two lines (marked NB. ***) near the end
of profile.ijs
NB. =========================================================
NB. Bring in local profile NB. ***
0!:0< jhostpath prf, '/quedprof.ijs' NB. ***
NB. boot up J:
NB. note: this may load a command line script, and should be
NB. the last entry in this script. Any additions beyond this
NB. point may confuse things and cause failures.
0!:0 <jhostpath sys, '\extras\util\boot.ijs'
Here are the first and last lines of the referenced "quedprof.ijs"
% hnt /usr/local/lib/j504/quedprof.ijs
<== /usr/local/lib/j504/quedprof.ijs ==>
NB. create / cd to jkt locale
18!:4 <'jkt' NB. doing this explicitly because we are "pre-boot"
COCLASSPATH=: 'jkt';,'z'
NB. coclass'jkt'
NB.
... elided ...
NB. now change back to the 'home' locale & add jkt to its path
(again explicitly)
18!:4 <'base' NB. cocurrent'base'
('jkt';18!:2<'base')18!:2<'base' NB. ('jkt';copath'base')copath'base'
In the elided section, I have lots of utilities etc. including
things I use for J CGI and shell scripts. This has worked very
well for me and is easy to carry from release to release.
