What I think Bill is trying to suggest is that there is no way that any of us can give you a set of instructions to get you from where you are now to where you need to be if we don't know the current state of your J installation(s).
I suggested you start again, because then your devices will then be in a "known" state. If you explain carefully the steps that you take, what happens and what you think should have happened instead, and what bits you find confusing, then maybe we can work out what instructions you're misinterpreting or following incorrectly. I believe that will be much easier than trying to work out what the current states of your devices are. You are worried that you'll end up in the same situation - that will only happen if you don't follow the instructions - files and shortcuts don't move by themselves! Worst case scenario you end up in the same situation! Earlier Bill pointed you to a YouTube video that Brian Schott made showing how to install J on a Mac.

Note that: a) the blue "J" is not available on Mac, only the red "J". b) the "J" icon on the PocketPC is not the same "pretty" J icon that exists on the other devices. If you follow the install instructions (especially Brian's YouTube instructions) hopefully you'll get there. > But both on the MacBook Pro and the pocket pc's and smartphone I have > lots of references to "J" all over the place, the MacBook Pro I finally > got going today by finding something called J.jar and clicking on it. > > On my small devices I usually find my way through: > > settings, memory, running programs, J, and activate it. It sounds like you are just switching to a current running J session rather than starting a J instance. This means if you restart your PocketPC, J will not be running and you will need to start a new instance of it by clicking on the appropriate shortcut, which may or may not now be working depending on what you have done. > long term project i guess, by X mas i should have it.
