OK. I got the base library up to date and the Package Manager runs. I ran
into a little problem as it couldn't find the wget and 7z as they were
installed in c:\Program Files\ and it didn't seem to like the blank. I moved
them to a directory which did not contain a blank but it still wouldn't work
until I removed the double quotes I put around the file names at first
trying to fix the blank problem.

Now it works and the repository got updated. I told it to install some
addons and it said that they were installed but I couldn't find them. One I
tried was fftw but there was no subdirectory math put into the addons
directory. I had downloaded fftw earlier but didn't put in into a math
subdirectory. Maybe it was my fault because I already had some things in the
addons. Also, I had moved ~addons out of the J installed directory. I did
that to avoid multiple copies of the addons when I installed a new release
of J.

So, must I keep the addons in the same directory as the J installation? Or
is it alright to keep it elsewhere? Second, Where do I go from here? Should
I delete all the addons I had previously gotten and then how do I tell
Package Manager to download the addons again?

But the Package Manager looks really good. Might suggest that there be an
option to remove an addon (uninstall option). It probably wouldn't work very
well for one to just delete the directory containing the addon. Somehow the
Package Manager needs to know it's gone. And what happens if an addon is
inadvertently deleted? Can the Package Manager detect that?
