Thanks, Ric
I've got used to taking it for granted that certain names are available
without worrying
too much where they come from. Firing JQt up from scratch, I can see
"sort" there in
the J locale. That presumably helps explain why "stldlib" doesn't need
to reside in Public_j_ ,
since stdlib is loaded at JQt startup. Probably the same on the iPad,
which is elsewhere,
charging up at the moment. We've seen below that both stdlib and socket
scripts reside
in ...system/main/ .
Using the existence of "sort", displaying as " /:~ :/: " as a proxy for
stdlib-loadedness,
it's evidently also there in Jconsole-J807 and Jhs807 .
MInor problem. Assuming you're talking about this page:
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/slashco ,
the second bullet point has a slight glitch in appearance, at least in
my installation
of Google Chrome under Windows 10:
[bullet symbol] "Defined in the factory script stdlib.ijs which is
located in ^ nbsp;~system/main/stdlib.ijs. "
(I've inserted a space at " ^ nbsp " to avoid re-formation of the symbol!)
The third bullet's display is fine.
Oddly, that page's time-stamp still reads:
* "This page was last edited on 18 December 2017, at 00:34."

Thanks again,
Mike

For now I've changed the text on the wiki page to clarify that `open` only
applies to JQt.
I've also added a link to the page of the User manual that describes the
Standard Library in more detail.

I'd forgotten about that script, stdlib.ijs .
The verb "open" refers to a list, Public_j_ , of shortcuts for various
scripts such as plot, viewmat, and so on. For some reason, "stdlib" isn't
included. But it's still there, both in J807 and in J701 for iPad. So, for
the latter, (sorry, boxing is poor from this ipad):
fdir'/j/system/main/*'
+----------+----------------+-----+---+------+----------+
|socket.ijs|2017 8 8 15 0 45|8962 |rw-|------|-rw-r--r--|
+----------+----------------+-----+---+------+----------+
|stdlib.ijs|2017 8 8 15 0 45|44089|rw-|------|-rw-r--r--|
+----------+----------------+-----+---+------+----------+
and the following rather long expression opens stdlib in the edit session
on the ipad:
je '/j/system/main/stdlib.ijs'
Perhaps that remark on the J wiki about opening stdlib could use a warning
or stdlib added to Public_j_
Cheers,
Mike

Since you asked, Mike, I was following the instructions at:
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/slashco , which said:
View definition(s) by entering in the J session: open'stdlib'
I finally decided that sort_z_ would been he easier approach. But I
still don’t know why /: isn’t giving me what I want.

iPod?
Yes, that's also happened for me very occasionally - in J701 on the
iPad.
Not under iOS12, as far as I recall, but that's probably not relevant.
So what does "open 'stdlib' " do on your iPad? I don't recognise it
as a J action... Or did you type something quite different?
