The code in boot.ijs is:
if. IFCONSOLE do.
boot 'main\conlib.ijs'
boot 'extras\util\jadecon.ijs'
boxdraw_j_ 1 2 0 {~ ('Darwin';'Win') i. <UNAME
startupconsole''
else.
boot 'main\winlib.ijs'
boot 'extras\util\jadefull.ijs'
boot 'extras\util\jijs.ijs'
boot 'extras\util\cfgread.ijs'
configure_jcfg_ 0
if. -. IFJIJX_j_ do. newijx_jijs_ 0 end.
end.
I think that newijx_jijs_ is what creates the .ijx window.
configure_jcfg_ runs the configuration, including the startup
file, so you are correct that startup runs before the .ijx.
