In J701 or, for that matter, J801 beta, how does one find out what scripts are 
available as shipped with the system or as added by JAL and what the functions 
in them do?

This may seem like a very naive question, but I do not recall having such 
difficulty with J602.

E.g., as recall there's a script named either 'strings' or 'text" that includes 
various things such as replacement in strings. But in both J701 and J801 beta, 
after executing

  load 'strings'
  load 'text'
  load 'scriptdoc'

I get "file not found" errors from:

  scriptdoc 'strings'
  scriptdoc 'text'

Moreover, in J701, I'm not finding where documentation is for all these various 
"standard" scripts are if I use link > help. Even subsequently clicking the 
link www.jsoftware.com/docs/help701/index.htm  doesn't seem to give any further 
path to such docs.

I thought that with releases of the past, there was fairly complete (if often 
terse) help available about the standard scripts.
