I write applications where each application is divided into several scripts, all in the same directory. Each form in a separate script. Each class in a separate script. I don't use Project Manager to put them into one script. The first script loads and finds out what directory it came from and the rest of the scripts are loaded using that information. This way the directory and drive where the application resides can be moved around as needed.
I write things for myself, not for sale. The test and production environments are the same. When I make a change to a script, I can load it and can often continue testing without restarting. No builds necessary. When I'm through I simply make a shortcut to the first script and put it on the desktop. File type ijs is defined to load J to run it.
