Henry - I don't know if you address this elsewhere, but one thing I like to do in my custom startup script is to add rows to PUBLIC_j_ so I can use short names to load some of my own commonly-used scripts.
I.e. I'll have lines like this: NB. Add some public shortcut names for easier loading of common files. mycode=: <'~User\code\' suf=. <'.ijs' nms=. 'attrib';'logo';'ws';'statusWin';'logger';'OLE';'mystats' fls=. 'perfAttrib';'BMPPal';'WS';'logger';'logger';'OLEExcel';'myStats' fls=. mycode,&.>suf,~&.>fls PUBLIC_j_=: addOnlyNewNames PUBLIC_j_;nms;<fls Thanks for all your good work on this.
