Jim,
Here is more documentation about using projects:

Thank you, excellent!
(I'll need to play with the 5!:6 thing. )
I tried using project, but couldn't find much documentation. (It struck me
earlier that new users, once they have installed J with its 3 interfaces, are
left with precious little documentation about any of them.)

???Hi Jim and Raul,
I tend to keep my scripts in projects, as it is a very simple way to load all
the associated script with a given project and as you add scripts they are
brought forth with the project the next time that you open it.
Once working with a script, I tend to include my test suite at the end of the
script so that every time that I load I can see if changes have broken
anything. I just use an anonymous verb like this:
3 : 0 ''
assert. (ucp 9 u: 16bd7ff 16bdc00)-: 55295 65533
assert. (ucp 9 u: 16bd800 16bdc00)-: ,65536
)
to run through the tests.
5!:6 <'t' [ t=. ucp 9 u: 16bd7ff 16bdc00 NB. the sentence following the =.
is whatever test result you want to capture
This is a quick way to develop results for my tests that will fit on one line
even for multidimensional nouns.
If I am going to make a substantial change I save a new version of the script
and work forward from there. The new version is the one that will open then
next time I open the project, while the previous versions are accessible
through the side bar of the project.
The execution window I use to test out parts of the scripts by copying and
pasting. I often assign global _base_ locale variables in the script to be able
to access intermediate results easily in the execution window. I sometimes use
debug, but probably not as often as I should. It just doesn't fit my style I
guess. When I load a script containing a test suite the first assert error
shows up in the execution window to let me know what may have broken.
Cheers, bob

And if I'm working on the details of a sentence, I might do that
solely in the execution window. But loading the script with Cmd-L
happens from the script window.
