Now just how do you recommend that one determine what file to load in order to 
have access to dissect?

In jqt, unfortunately, the dialog one gets from menu selection Edit > Find in 
Files does not allow the choice of Addons, just Demos, Projects, and User.

And there seems to be no reasonable way to do a search for 'dissect' when one 
uses the built-in Help menu.

And the jwiki page http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/Dissect doesn't 
tell how to load it, either.

Of course I can use (under OS X) the Terminal command "mdfind -name 
dissect.ijs", but why does it have to be so hard to accomplish such a basic and 
essential thing from within J (without shelling out)??
