I can see this is not very clear. I'm using Jinstall to refer to the J installation folder. I'm using SYSTEM as a "variable" to refer to the location for installing applications so they are available system wide. It depends on the OS and for Mac I've suggested that that location is /Applications. If you look at the table following this one you will see that it mirrors your understanding. For a Standard Install, Jinstall is located in HOME (HOME/Jinstall). For a System Install, Jinstall is located in SYSTEM (SYSTEM/Jinstall). I have added a "definition" for SYSTEM, but perhaps there is a better solution/name that would make things less confusing? > > One other minor cosmetic change that you might > consider is to prepend the OS name to each numbered > subsection's title -- not in the table of contents, but in > the main body of the page.

Adding the OS name to the front of the title on the page but not in the TOC would be painful because the TOC is currently created automatically from the titles. I'm currently thinking that perhaps the best option move the different OS sections to separate sub-pages and link to them, much like the current jwiki/System/Installation page. > I think your contribution is excellent.
