jhs use patterns:

Casual: convenient to have eveything happen in one window: open bookmark
jijx, page to opn, open script, edit, run, page to ijx, page to pdf, etc.

Iphone type device: limited real-estate, limited keyboard, tabs  perhaps
more awkward than justified: similar to casual use

Power: try to come close to traditional IDE development system

Here are a few Power ideas (expressed in windows terms, but applicable to
all):

Create icon to launch server:
   copy jconsole icon and add to command line:  -js "jhs 1500"
   run minimized

Create icon to open jijx page in new browser:
   copy IE or FF icon and add to comand line:   http://127.0.0.1:1500/jijx
   rename to: jijx
   details vary depending on browser tab options

 Create icon to open jopn in new browser:
   copy IE or FF icon and add to comand line:   http://127.0.0.1:1500/jopn
   rename to: jopn
    details will vary depending on browser tab options

The jijx browser lets you always see jijx. The jopn browser can be used with
tabs for scripts. A jopn bookmark can be used to open jopn in a new tab.

I think with adjustments in work habits and with improvements in the pages
(especially opn) that this can be an effective IDE. Having a jhs
intergrated Program Manager  would be great.
