I'm a little concerned that this happens often enough that you need a button ;)
In any case, when I wrote:

I didn't mean that it wouldn't work on Windows, I meant only you couldn't type
that directly into the session manager (the IJX
window). It has to appear in a script file and be run indirectly. It will
work just fine on Windows (or any other J platform).
Actually, I just tested it, and it appears there's been some undocumented
changes in this area. Apparently local names are no
longer valid inputs to 4!:4 . That's unfortunate (but only for this one
small use; it may herald bigger, more important changes
in this area).
So, in lieu of y , you must use a global name. I suggest you use the name of
the function itself. In the case I laid out, that
would be matrix_reloaded_button .
I put together a small example for you:

BTW, if you know the name of the script you want to reload then all this is
overkill . In that case, you really only need to
define a verb like this:
matrix_reloaded_button =: 3 : 'load ''c:\path\to\script\buggy.ijs'' '
