It works very well. Now you can easily transfer your favorite J scripts to
the Apple ecosystem, edit and test your improved code. J is by nature
compact and therefore well suited to the smaller Ipad screen.

Granted you will probably not be writing your next killer app on the Ipad,
but still it would be nice if debugging would work on it, even if it were
only in command line mode.

For example, on your Ipad:

. in edit mode define and save a file containing the line:
   mean =: (+/%#)
. run the script. mean 5 7 will give 6
. in debug mode (dbg 1) mean 5 7 will give 6 and
mean 'abc' will yield a domain error
. go to edit mode, then return to execution mode
. try 8+9

The system will not respond, you are locked out.
