I, too, was surprised that jdemo.ijs had anything to do with starting jhs. The context in that file of the line cited as offending is:
create=: 3 : 0 NB. create page and send to browser ... hr title;css,js,B getbody BIS ) jev_get=: create NB. browser get request </div> ) CSS=: 0 : 0 ) IF I use the expedient of simply reinstalling the base J7 JHS system from the beta page and running JAL for updating, will any of my customizations be lost? At this point I'm not even sure whether or where I put them, given that there seem to be so many places they could go: J701\addons\ide\jhs\config\jhs_default.ijs J701\system\config J7-1\extras\config and then (where Juser\config701 is my personal config directory): Juser\config701\startup_jhs.ijs Juser\config701\myJ7profile.ijs [old: November, 2009] I know I did some customization, but I find no docs on the web site about how one does any customization; it must all be buried in and spread across many messages in the beta mailing list. I vaguely remember some file whose name includes "template" that one is supposed to use for at least some customization, but I don't know now where that might be. Also, as I recall, there were several choices as to what kind of installation to do, but it was unclear what to choose. I am the only user and am an administrator (Windows XP). But I do absolutely, positively do NOT want my personal config folder to be in default C:\Document and Settings\Administrator\j701-user. I insist that all my application data (except what's in the Windows Registry) be on a partition or partition separate from the OS partition (so that if the latter fails the former will not be lost, and to make backup easier and quicker through modularization by drive or partition). P.S. Once again, there's something in the Beta Digest mailing that causes it to be truncated somewhere in the middle. In the present case, the Beta Digest was Vol 48, Issue 6. When I tried to reply to it in Thunderbird, the quoted message was truncated just before the very message I wanted to quote, namely, Eric's! Moreover, there were parts of the message that, curiously, displayed in a lighter gray font color, running from the signature in my message (#3) through Eric's reply (#4) but not including the quoting of my original message at the end of Eric's reply!

I see now that is all too easy to do and the loading of the system should not depend on jdemo.ijs being in working order. You could examine the lines around 91 in jdemo.ijs to see if there is an obvious problem to correct. Or you could post the 10 lines or so in that area here and I could suggest a fix. Alternatively you could reinstall the base J7 JHS system (from the beta page) and then do the JAL install of the latest version.
