This is how far I got:
Found "viewpdf "definition in stdlib.ijs alright. Relevant section is
short of line 1900.
Managed to get in local var ParamRES=. ' -e ' .
Changed this line
-----
r=. ShellExecute 0;(uucp 'open');(uucp PDFReader);(uucp dquote
cmd);NULL;SW_SHOWNORMAL
-----
to
-----
r=. ShellExecute 0;(uucp 'open');(uucp PDFReader);(uucp
ParamRES);(uucp dquote cmd);SW_SHOWNORMAL
-----
so that the Windows section now reads
NB.
***************************************************************************************
case. 'Win' do.
ShellExecute=. 'shell32 ShellExecuteW > i x *w *w *w *w i'&cd
SW_SHOWNORMAL=. 1
NULL=. <0
ParamRES=. ' -e ' NB. Parameter for PDFReader (GSView): Reuse
Existing Session | 2014-04-01
cmd=. '/' (I. cmd='\') } cmd
if. -.fexist cmd do. EMPTY return. end.
if. 0 = #PDFReader do. NB. checking for empty string
r=. ShellExecute 0;(uucp 'open');(uucp cmd);NULL;NULL;SW_SHOWNORMAL
else.
sminfo PDFReader, ParamRES, dquote cmd NB. 2014-04-01
r=. ShellExecute 0;(uucp 'open');(uucp PDFReader);(uucp
ParamRES);(uucp dquote cmd);SW_SHOWNORMAL
end.
if. r<33 do. sminfo 'viewpdf error: ',PDFReader,' ',cmd,LF2,1{::cderx'' end.
NB.

This is the jconsole output:
-----
load 'plot'
plot 5 6 7
d:/program files/ghostgum/gsview/gsview32.exe -e "f:/documents and
settings/admi
n/j701-user/temp/plot.pdf"
-----
which looks fair enough to me ...
The parameter is passed along fine (resulting in GSview window no
1being reused all the time); the pity is that the target (the PDF
file) doesn't show anymore :(
I do know that is all very clumsy as my programming skills are (very) limited.

At 2014-04-01 10:02, you wrote:
default to ~temp/plot.pdf should be correct. it calls this
viewpdf_j_ jpath '~temp/plot.pdf'
typing in jconsole
viewpdf_j_
will give its definition and you can see why it failed with a "-e"
paramenter because there is no such file with a name
"........ -e"
you may modify viewpdf_j_ until it work for you.
