EI> I get the expected file name error.

I can reproduce the crash here.  The sequence of events is call  j -jprofile 
"file doesnt exist.ijs"  ; see the "Error and no IDE for debugging" dialog; 
dimiss it; J crashes.  That is, afer the dialog is dimissed, one gets the 
Microsoft "J has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for 
the inconvenience." dialog.

The error occurs only in j.exe , not jconsole.exe.  The error appears in betas 
M and L but not in K or J or in version 5.04b.  In those previous versions, 
when you dimiss the dialog box, J will exit.  However, neither behavior allows 
one to continue using J.  Perhaps  j.exe -jprofile "file doesn't exist.ijs"  
should be treated like  j.exe -jprofile  .  That is, an empty, profile-less J 
IDE window (but with 'file name error' printed)?

I am using Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 2.
