If you want to add any definitions to your standard session, you should add them to /j602-user/config/startup.ijs instead. As he says, that way it is much easier to move your user settings from one installation to another. Looking at the old settings you used to have in your profile.ijs I think very few, if any of them are necessary/relevant now. I think the verb smoutput is the modern equivalent of your screen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
