32-bit Windows version installs fine. The ability to display inline plots (SVG & PDF) in the log is a nice taste of things to come. The functionality of the jfile window is a nice improvement. It is much easier to navigate using the keyboard and takes fewer "clicks" to get things done. Some more work formatting the jfile window will help convey the function of the various bits. * the currently selected file/folder should be more prominent and a mouse-over tool tip could provide some feedback on what it is. * The "buttons" (links that fire the goaction verb) should be differentiated from "shortcuts" (links that fire the gosh, gofo or gofi verbs). The former could be formatted to look like buttons. * the functionality of the "new_name" button might be clearer if it was called "rename_to" * IMO it would be more natural for the ".." link to appear as the first item in the listing of the current folder, rather than as part of the list of shortcuts. * It seems to me that it would be useful to group the various distinct parts of the page in <div> tags to aid with CSS formatting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
