Hi Dieter, It looks to me that you have missed the difference between the .ijx windows and the .ijs windows.
.ijx denotes a J execution window. I recommend having only one of these windows open at a time, for now. This window is where you'll see the results of J program execution. .ijs denotes a J script window. This is simply a file editing window. Write your persistent script contents into such a window. Save it and reopen it through the normal file saving and opening techniques common to all modern operating systems. As Dan (and, I suspect, others) noted, use the [Run | Window] or [Run | Window Display] menu items from the .ijs window in order to load that scripting into the .ijx console. The result of doing that is a change in state, for your .ijx session, that is identical to what would occur if you hand-typed exactly those contents into the .ijx window. But, since you've got your script as a separate file (with .ijs suffix) you can see the current script at any time (by opening it in a .ijs window). I hope this helps!
