I'd go with https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Standalone_Applications
for running J from the command line.

Also, 1!:43 queries current directory and 1!:44 changes it
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dx001.htm -- those don't get
much use, though, since usually it makes more sense to just use
absolute references.

Some shortcuts for absolute references include:
    jpath '~home'
    jpath '~user'
    jpath '~temp'

Basically tilde expansions by jpath get you access to the paths listed
in SystemFolders_j_ (and UserFolders_j_).

I hope this helps,

Thanks,
