I'll try to be as explicit as possible. 
I wrote a script for a sudoku solver and I keep track of grids to be solved. So 
I put all the data in a subdirectory called 'grilles'. To distribute my package 
I zipped the J stuff ( J.exe dll shortcut etc ) including the subdir 'grilles'. 
I mailed that to a friend who unzipped the package in something like 'c:\mes 
jeux'. Everything run fine except when he wants to access a grid stored in the 
subdir 'grilles'. In the script I use jpath to read or write to the subdir 
'grilles' but I obtain only 'c:\mes' and consequently can't access those files. 
If we rename the 'c:\mes jeux' to c:\mesjeux' everything is fine...
Hope that helps.
