Finally decided to risk installing j801 on my MacBook. Printed out 
system/installation/j801 - j Wiki. Downloaded j801_mac32.dmg. Copied the J801 
folder to my home directory. (Didn't know I could do that from a .dmg file, but 
I must have for J602 and J701 I guess.) Noticed that the readme file said I had 
the J801 Beta. Depending on where I go to find the release notes I get either 
J801 or J701, which is disconcerting. Jcon801 and jhs801 passed the "i.5" test, 
so I opened jqt801 and found help/studio/labs, which failed with a syntax error 
in labs_run_jqtide. Yet another wiki document told me I also had to run 
  install 'qtide'
So I did, and stuff happened, and I quit and restarted, but the lab error was 
not resolved. (I ignored the profile script instructions assuming that if 
earlier J versions worked from the same home directory, I should be ok.)

Not yet as new user friendly as some of us dumb users need, it seems.
