Bob and Julian,

When I read Julian's post it made me think of spx (or maybe sp -- I can't
remember), so I fired up JHS and tried looking for the relevant help. When
I clicked on help inside the jhs `help` menu, I got the dreaded message
below at the link: http://localhost:65001/~addons/docs/help/index.htm.

get/post request failed
response code 409
application did not produce result
try browsing to url again
additional info in jijx

So, next from the `tour` menu, I tried spx and was pleasantly treated to a
tour which produce a separate spx.ijs window showing all the tour lines.
Although I did not take much of the tour, I found one puzzling result which
you can sort of see by typing the following command in the jijx window.
Part of the puzzlement is that at one point when I had pressed ctrl+. to
advance the tour, a horizontal line spread across the page, but I could not
get the horizontal line to appear myself UNTIL when writing this message I
entered the first line below. When I did that the horizontal line appeared
right below the first line below.

   spx 37 40
previous line displays as horizontal rule
 sequential lines starting with NB.
  display in a single advance

To continue, though, I wonder if the tour-producing script might be a model
for Julian. But I don't know what or where that script is. The spx.ijs
script which is shown for the tour is quite informative, also.
