Looks to me that the box characters are set for the Console in boot.ijs
using the verb boxdraw_j_
boxdraw_j_ 1 2 0 {~ ('Darwin';'Win') i. <UNAME
The boxdraw verb is defined in either jadecon.ijs or jadefull.ijs as:
BOXES=: ((16+i.11) { a.),'+++++++++|-',:218 194 191 195 197 180 192 193
217 179 196{a.
boxdraw=: 3 : '9!:7 y { BOXES'
Not sure if that helps?
