Perhaps j would reach a larger audience if the documents were less
abbreviated? One must surmount a hill to understand what the documents
might be. Melvin Dewey cataloged libraries, but his simplified
spellings---eg. Adirondak Loj---haven't grown deep root.
I'll explain a low priority project I've been working on for a months,
to which I don't want an external answer. It could help elucidate
problems with j documents?
I'd simply like to figure out how to increase the amount of information
displayed.
$ jconsole
i.100
0 1 [omitted] 87 88...
Neither "display" nor "output" are entries in my "ndx". Next I realize
that by writing to a file I'll get full list. I start to investigate
foreign conjunctions. However, not wanting to reinvent, I recall that j
preloads file handling functions. The file name is a boxed string on
the right---of something. Further study of the docs lead me to profile.
Neither "profile" nor "standard profile" are in the "ndx". I give up
because hunting for the file that might be "profile.ijs" and reading it
aren't interesting now. Instead, I choose a smaller test case, thinking
next time to lookup the z name space. ("z" also isn't found as an entry
in my "ndx".)
Hoping to expand the j community,
Dave.
