I guess your earlier report of this bug got lost in the shuffle. I will take
a look and am pretty sure that we will be able to fix it before the final
602 release.

Subject: [Jbeta] jee.exe still chokes on cut-and-paste
I just tested the j 6.02d beta to see if the jee.exe bug that causes it to
freeze up is fixed: it isn't.
To see the behavior: start jee at the DOS prompt by entering the command
jee.exe javaw j.jar
from the J "bin" directory.
If you like, confirm that you can run a graphics command:
load 'plot'
'surface' plot +/~1 o. i:4j99
A plot should appear.
Now, to get the bug, cut-and-paste the following into your J session:

VIEWPOINT
By Bill Gates
Chairman, Microsoft
One of the most important changes of the last 30 years is that digital
technology has transformed almost everyone into an information worker.
A lot of people assume that creating software is purely a solitary
activity.
This isn't true at all.
In almost every job now, people use software and work with information to
enable their organisation to operate more effectively.
)
This causes my session to freeze up: I don't get the J prompt and there is
no response from J to anything I type. I have to break out of the session
using Ctl-C (or selecting Signals/BREAK from within emacs).
I'm disappointed as this stops me from combining the best of both worlds:
having a J session within emacs and being able to run windowing
commands.
