I am moving this to the general forum from the Beta
forum because I get exactly the same problem in J601: there
ain't no $#!*& run.ijs file and there is no opportunity to
type it in to a file save dialog on my Mac (as Chris
suggested in his reply).
The following screenshot shows what I mean in J602,
but it may be slow to load because it is on my homegrown
server.

Has anyone successfully completed the Building
Applications Lab on a Mac? Actually, at this point I would
be interested to find if anyone has completed this Lab on a
Windows computer.
Thank you,
(B=)
