I guess that -jprofile without a filename
j.exe -jprofile
is a special case that only a minijx is shown, no profile, j ide or any other
definition will be loaded.
normally the j engine (j.dll) is started by j frontend. It is that j frontend
that parse the argv and pass it to the j engine. thus it is up to j frontend
how to interpret "j.exe -jprofile"

In the default profile.ijs, one of the first things done is
to set the noun PROFILE_z_ to be the pathname of the default
profile.ijs if it is not already defined. My current thinking
is that if you were using a custom profile (via -jprofile on
the command line) then PROFILE_z_ should be set before the line.
if. notdef 'PROFILE' do. PROFILE_z_=: 1!:45'' end.
Reading back through some forum archives, another possibility occurs to
me.
Bill Lam suggests in
http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2006-December/004527.html
that "ARGV should work with -jprofile, because it is injected by J
executable before
running any script."
If this is true then perhaps PROFILE is also supposed to be "injected by
the J executable"?
However when I run
"c:\program files\j601\j.exe" -jprofile
18!:4 <'z'
18!:5 ''
+-+
|z|
+-+
4!:1 ]0 1 2 3
$4!:1 ]0 1 2 3
0
Neither ARGV or PROFILE are defined in the z locale.
But perhaps this is as it is meant to be?
