Brian,

I had some initial trouble getting j806 beta5 up in Sierra, but once I found 
the launch icons the installation had produced (on my Desktop...) they all seem 
to work as expected.

That said, 99% of my interactions with J are using the CLI in Terminal (I 
greatly prefer the line recall and editing things there) and that worked fine 
with my simple installation - even reusing the symbolic links I had set up 
during a previous installation.  I do occasionally use jQt to run labs or 
demos, and after I found the shortcuts it seems to work nicely.

I just (for the first time in 806) launched jhs806.app and it happily created a 
Terminal window and from there opened a browser window and connected. All looks 
in order to me, my profile junk was there and available etc.

Mind you, this is all happening on the Mac, when I tried to browse from another 
machine in the network I got a Big Bright security notice and a J Login window. 
 I suppose I need to RTFM and  set up a user name and password in some script 
and I will go off looking for that - but I wanted to report that I don't 
experience your angst noted in your question 2.

- joey
