Amelia,
If you want to use the session manager (j.exe, the GUI J window) as an
interactive shell, you can do that too. Change the last line of the script from
query r_plx ''
to
query r_pl ''
(that is, remove the x). Then, in the session manager (not cmd.exe) type this:
load '~temp\interactive.ijs'
and you'll see the familiar:
Welcome to psycho therapy!
prompt.
Using the session manager as a user-shell like this is not recommended and has
some suprising and non-neglibile limitations. I won't detail them now, but as
long as you keep your logic simple, and leave query r_pl '' as the last line
of your script, you should be OK.
