Murray - the single-word shortcuts are kept in "Public_j_", a two-column name-value pair matrix analogous to PUBLICFOLDERS_j_ in J6.02.
It does seem complicated, doesn't it? I think much of this has to do with our own customizations. With this new version, I'm attempting to reduce the number of idiosyncratic verbs I define in my startup and to adhere to the existing customs as much as possible. However, I was dismayed to find that the supplied "dir" verb returns information in a much less useful format than my own simple definition "dir=: 1!:0@<". Alan Kay had a good line about how we keep re-inventing the flat tire.
