Here's the Configuration routine that I do every time
a new J version is installed. Others may also share theirs.
Thus we may find common customizations which may be made
preset to minimize this step.

(In j602)
 - place user and j folder side-by-side:
     any\j602
     any\j602-user
   this option is not available in setup dialog,
   so after installation and before first run I
   have place the following profilex.ijs in bin:

user=.   (PATHSEP_j_(i:~{.])install),userx
temp=.   user,'\temp'
config=. user,'\config'

(In all Js, in order of Config dialog)
 - before opening config, resize J session to ~1/4
   of screen and place in bottom-right corner
   (so that script windows not overlap with it)
 - Display:
   - Font: change size to 10
   - Display: Linear
   - Box: Ascii (optional)
 - Folders: reorder: System, Addons, User, Projects
     (otherwise, Find in Files works funny,
      BTW placing Projects tab first in FIF is annoying too)
 - Format Script: [X] Indent Explicit Definitions
 - Forms: change font family to something antialised 
     like Arial, Microsoft Sans Serif, etc.
 - Print: change font size to 10
 - Session: Open Scripts Read-only: None (j602)
 - Startup: [Current Position], [Current Size]
