Raul,
I have updated the labs to try to explain these points better. We will
continue to work on the wording to try to make it smoother.
All further comments appreciated

Here are some things I think I noticed in the current version of the
dissect labs:
-----------
The first question I thought of, while going through Dissect Lab I,
was: how do I unselect a selection? (I eventually noticed the <<
button at the top, but that took me a while. The closest to
documentation of how to unselect that I noticed is the suggestion to
hover over stuff to see their tooltips. But perhaps this should be
made more obvious?)
Also:
-----------
Chapter 5, 1 of 9:
"... and the shape of a result-cell in white on a blue background"
(looks more like a purple or indigo background, to me)
Chapter 5, 2 of 9:
"... and the shape of a result-cell is in white type on a purple background."
-----------
Chapter 8, 2 of 4:
"Click on a result row in the right-hand (%) verb to see how the row
was calculated."
Can't select rows in the result of the right-hand % - can only select atoms.
-----------
Chapter 10, 2 of 11:
"Click on the name (W) in the result of the (>) verb."
Can't select that W
[I'm repeating myself from a code point of view, but I do not know if
you want to change the implementation of dissect, or if you want to
change the lab.]

-----------
Dissect Lab II
Chapter 4, 1 of 2
"...computes tha factorial..."
-----------
Chapter 5, 5 of 5
"(~.@[ ,. +/&.:>/.) is a hook..."
It's a fork.

Dissect 3.7.4 released, and Labs at 1.0.90.
Dissect labs now use the () convention for J code.
Display of fill was seriously broken. If you have gone through the Labs
already you might want to look at the fill section of Dissect I again. It
has changed.
There is now a config file; you can save the current settings or revert to
the saved settings.
On J8 only, there is a Help to take you to the Wiki page or to NuVoc. Also,
F1 takes you to the Wiki page, and Shift+F1 takes you to NuVoc.
