You need to this separately.  (Emacs doesn't know how to parse J scripts.)

I wrote a simple script "jtags" to build the tags file for a J
directory hierarchy.  The script will pick up any global assignment
starting in the first column.  (I indent all code in explicit
definitions.) I creates the standard TAGS format as created by ctags
and used with vi flavours and ed.

To get the source (Makefile, script, man page) use this command:

cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvs \
                        co -d jtags j/contrib/unix/extras/jtags

I know that emacs prefers its own "tags" format but possibly it
groks both.  (I stopped using emacs some years ago.) I'll check it
out and make an update if needed.
