I just got J 5.1a and a new dictionary at a WONDERFUL tutorial
on J by Donald McIntyre at the College of Wooster.  I have two
questions regarding the implementation of J.

1) Will locatives be implemented soon?  I see their operation
   clearly detailed in Appendix C of the dictionary, but 
   I don't find them working.  (Needless to say I think they
   are a great idea and am eager to use them.)

2) Donald McIntyre mentioned using J on an HP95LX.  Can the
   session manager be set for a 40x16 screen?  Has anyone
   compiled J to execute in place (XIP) as is possible on that
   hardware?
