In J Wiki <http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/FrontPage> System/Library/Requests<http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Library/Requests?action=fullsearch&value=linkto%3A%22System%2FLibrary%2FRequests%22&context=180> I suggested a modification to profile.ijs that would allow it to support multiple users, that is, move the location of user and temp without requiring any modification to profile.ijs. Simply put a copy of profile.ijsin the desired directory to contain the alternate user's user and temp directories. When run by J as the first script to load, those directories become the user and temp directories no matter where the J installation directories reside. However, if it is run in the J installation directory, it works exactly as the current profile.ijs now does. The reason I thought this was important to do is that the profile.ijs could be used without any changes to support multiple users.
I have not seen any response to that request yet. It seems to me that it should solve the problems discussed in this thread.
