Why would anyone want to create such EXE file
which just starts a J application? And what
such EXE file would do exactly?

Most EXE files are not started by double-clicking
the EXE file directly. Instead a Shortcut is placed
on the Start menu, Desktop, etc.

It is very easy to create such a shortcut for your
application. Here is how to make a shortcut for
the Plot demo:

 * right-click Start, select Explore
 * go to: All Users\Start Menu\Programs\J
 * create a copy (not shortcut) of the J 601 icon
   and rename it to Plot
 * Right-click, select Properties
 * In the Target line add (separating with space):
    -jijx system\examples\graphics\plot\plotdemo.ijs
 * Click OK. Close the Explorer

Now on the Start menu under J you have a Plot
stand-alone application. This could be automated
in a simple script.
