Joey, Thanks for the tip on the hold on !/, for the quote .
Additionally, if you are on the number or special character keyboard on the iPad or iPhone, holding the ' key will also give you access to the ` (backquote) character, which comes in handy when using @. as the backquote does not show up on any of the onscreen keyboards as its own key. I also had no problems downloading jbeta 1.2 (1.15) and it runs fine. I like that the update does not affect files that I have already moved into the application using iTunes, so that I can pick up with those scripts right where I left off.
