Devon, To clarify: 1!:44 does work. It does exactly what it is documented to do: changes J's working directory. But there are certain parts of the J system which assume J's working directory is J's home directory. This includes both binaries and scripts.
This may have changed since the introduction of the ~-style names in J6; I don't know. I just know what I learned through pain and fire: avoid changing J's working directory. -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
