I have added some addons for new users.
1. profiles/profiles has scripts to set up initial configurations for
new users (well, actually, there's only one choice now, but you are
welcome to add your own).
To run the one choice a new user would execute
load 'profiles/profiles/explorer'
from their J session. The script adds PFkeys for dissect and lint
and gives them a startup that will check for new addons every time they
start, and load the addons: viewmat, printf, plot, dissect, and lint
automatically. If there should be other addons loaded automatically,
tell me which ones (or fix the addon).
2. For teachers of J managing user profiles: have the students run
load 'misc/classroom/studentinit'
It will prompt them for the URL of the startup script you want them to
use; download the script; and set their user startup to check for
changes every time they start J. If you want to change the classroom
startup file, you just change it on your server and the class is
automatically updated when they start J.
