It's not that it's empty -- on disk it's all there.
It's just when you open an ijx, J creates a new ijx
window, but refuses to place the file contents in it.
I think, there is UI flow breakdown happening
here. It might be better to work like this:
- up to one ijx windows per process (now with open/ijx, there can be more)
- no new ijs window for the Open operation, all open becomes an ijs window
- an additional operation Insert From File,
which makes sense for both ijs and ijx windows
- save works both for ijs (as .ijs) and ijx (as .ijx) as now.

i open it in a text editor and copy/paste it into the empty ijx
window. Nothing is executed, and i can continue a transcript from
where i left off. J's interaction with external editors is pretty weak
at best, but with perseverance in carefully maintaining your file
names you can make a reasonably sensible archive.
