This works for me in the Gtk IDE.
If I type say ( stringreplace ) in the Term or Edit windows and press
Ctrl+F1 then the relevant script file from the SVN repository (with
its comments) is displayed in my browser (or if I have a local version
of the SVN repository then the relevant script file from there is
loaded in my Edit window).

This is nice, especially in that it shows where changes/patches need
to be made, however my preference would still be to retain the script
comments/documentation in the scripts distributed with J and load the
individual scripts (files.ijs, strings.ijs, colib.ijs, task.ijs ...)
in stdlib.ijs rather than catenate them all together.
