Thanks for reporting the result of your tests. This means the damage is
done in starting barebones J and is not a result of something the
profile does. I don't think there is anything more we can do about this
problem now. I hope you find the workaround with the sentence to be
adequate.

Did the following tests
1) At the DOS prompt runned c:\j601\j.exe -jprofile, without running
the 'kernel32..." sentence it FAILS, if sentence is runned ALL IS OK.
I was not sure what you needed and ran the following test
2) At the DOS prompt runned c:\j601\j.exe, without running the
'kernel32..." sentence it FAILS, if sentence is runned ALL IS OK.

Glad it worked and happy birthday.
Add that sentence to your startup script.
start J
Edit|Configure|Startup
press open to edit the startup.ijs script and add the required line
Could you please do one more experiment for me before you start
living with the workaround. It would narrow down the area where the
problem occurs and might suggest a better solution. There are two
chunks of code that might be causing the problem on your machine. The
1st is the general startup of the front end and the 2nd is the load
of the profile scripts. I would like you to start J without the
startup scripts and try your test.
Start a Command Prompt window (DOS) (same as you did to test
jconsole.exe)
...>\j601\j.exe -jprofile
this starts a barebones J without loading the profile
%0 1 2 3
does this work or fail?
You need to terminate this J session with the following sentence:
2!:55[0
Bear in mind some of the comments Oleg made. J has run on many
systems and, other than the variation reported by Bill and known
problems with some dll calls, we dont' see this problem. There is
something wrong with your system in some deep dark corner. You can
probably ignore it, but don't forget it.
If this problem were more widely reported we would dig much deeper
into finding a solution.

Hi,
It is 13:06, and ALL IS FINE UNDER THE SUN.
From what I tested it seems that I must execute that command
everytime I
open J (win). I remember that there is a file where I should put
that command. Could you tell me wich file. I am relearning at 64(
today), nice birthday gift.
Thanks to everyone who contributed.

A wild guess is that some action is damaging the floating point
state. Some
dll calls damage the state and require a reset in order for the J
Engine to
continue running properly. For this reason the % option was added to
the cd
mechanism. Please do the following test:
start J
run sentence:
'kernel32 CloseHandle % i i' 15!:0 [0
the result is two boxed zeros
now try your troubling sentence:
%0 1 2 3
