Fixing file permissions for qjide fixed the problems with qjide.command and qjide.app. And indeed I can now start qjide from the dock in OS X. Thanks!
But the load 'plot' problem persists -- even after deleting the existing qjide directory and replacing it with a newly downloaded/extracted one (and also re-editing the config in qjide.py, of course, and fixing the permissions). However, I think this is a more pervasive problem with j801, as I see exactly the same error in the j801 console -- but, oddly, not in jqt801. That's really mysterious! I've reported this on the beta forum.
