I have found the following code helpful in loading J scripts:
lcd =: 3 : ' (4!:4<''lcd'') { 4!:3 $0 '
COMMON_SCRIPT_PATH=: ;}:}:;:>lcd''
NB. path of directory from which this script is being run.
This allows me to put associated scripts in any directory, launch the root
script of that set (via jconsole.exe) and have that script load the other
scripts by determining its own path. The load sentences are like this:
load COMMON_SCRIPT_PATH, 'somescript.ijs'
Thanks goes to Dan Bron for directing me to this useful code.
