Chris Burke has asked me to point out that my attribution to him of the J Phrase book is misleading (see Vector 13 No.3 p.117). The principal author of the J Phrase Book is Roger Hui; Ken Iverson and Eugene McDonnell were also major contributors, and other contributions were made by Chris Burke and Donald McIntyre. Also Roger is revising the Phrase Book to correct known errors, and to accommodate language changes in J3.03.

Chris would also like me to point out that a propos the article on windows programming in J-ottings 12, the windows driver was completely revised in J3, and is now much simpler. In particular wd 'wait' is unnecessary, and not recommended.
