The ~folder convention needs understanding:
in Unix, it is ~/folder/... that refers to HOME folder, where as
in J it is ~folder/... that refers to special aliases-folders
(tilde is prepended directly to folder name).
You should always use '~folder' and not 'folder'.
It is resolved automatically to absolute path by
some verbs like load'' and require'', but will
need explicit jpath'' for other cases, e.g.
fread jpath'~user/folder/file.ext'
I keep all my J scripts and libraries inside the
~user folder, which is always next to the j60x folder,
so that I don't lose anything during syncing and migration.
In Unix, this is under $HOME: ~/j602, ~/j602-user or
~/j602, ~/j602/user. In Windows, it is on D:\Folder\... .
I don't put important stuff in Program Files or
My Documents, etc.
