What I'm curious about is what the other end of the AJAX message looks like
at the socket level. And a list of all the AJAX calls. As I understand it,
this is what JFE uses. JavaScript provides so many of the things I have
wished were in J forms. I just didn't want to have to learn another language
to get them.

So far I haven't found a tutorial or documentation describing the other end.
AJAX interfaces to Java and ASP are on the web but not much help for
understanding what has to be done in J to respond to AJAX requests. Guess
it's time to dig into the J scripts.
