In Jwd, the 1!:2&2 writes to the ijx form, if any. The normal J profile
creates an ijx window, so running your app without the -jprofile
parameter will do this.
You can create an ijx window yourself, and this can be useful when
testing applications. A minimal ijx window can be found in
system\extras\util\minijx.ijs.
For example, create the script below, and an icon that runs it,
something like:
c:\j6\j.exe -jprofile myscript.ijs
Run it, and note that clicking the button gives no output.
Now remove the NB. and run the script again. This time, a session
appears and you can see the output.
