I took the advice & tried downloading 701beta.  After some moments of 
bafflement when I ran Jconsole and was presented with what looked like a 
DOS window, I tried jhs and then followed the instructions and got 
something on the browser.

All I really want is to make sure that the good old JFE is still 
available, and to see what engine changes there are so I can put them 
into my book.  I managed to find JAL but it doesn't seem to have an 
ide/jfe like I was expecting.  I hope this is just an omission!

Also, I couldn't find a list of engine changes for this release.


I haven't tried learning to love the new IDE, but some things I missed 
in the first 5 minutes are:

ctrl-r to run a line

when I run an ijs window, the output doesn't show up in the ijx unless I 
do something in the ijx window

To have multiple IJS windows visible all at once, do I have to have many 
browsers open?  I hope not, as each browser has a bunch of menu junk & 
buttons that costs much desktop space.


I'm sure it will get better.  But for now, how do I find & run the JFE?
