I'd forgotten about that script, stdlib.ijs . The verb "open" refers to a list, Public_j_ , of shortcuts for various scripts such as plot, viewmat, and so on. For some reason, "stdlib" isn't included. But it's still there, both in J807 and in J701 for iPad. So, for the latter, (sorry, boxing is poor from this ipad):
fdir'/j/system/main/*' +----------+----------------+-----+---+------+----------+ |socket.ijs|2017 8 8 15 0 45|8962 |rw-|------|-rw-r--r--| +----------+----------------+-----+---+------+----------+ |stdlib.ijs|2017 8 8 15 0 45|44089|rw-|------|-rw-r--r--| +----------+----------------+-----+---+------+----------+ and the following rather long expression opens stdlib in the edit session on the ipad: je '/j/system/main/stdlib.ijs' Perhaps that remark on the J wiki about opening stdlib could use a warning or stdlib added to Public_j_ Cheers, Mike Please reply to mike_liz....@tiscali.co.uk.
