Is this the sort of thing you are after?

If you want to see a list of the names of definitions that are defined in your current locale then type:
names ''

If you want to see the definition of that name just type the name and press enter.

So in a new J session:
When you start the J session you are in the "base" locale. It is empty.
   names''                NB. What names are defined? - none!
   avg=: +/ % #           NB. Define verb avg
   vec=: 4 5 3 9 2 3 4    NB. Define noun vec
   names ''               NB. What names are defined?
avg vec 
   avg                    NB. What is the definition of avg?
+/ % #
   vec                    NB. What is the definition of vec?
4 5 3 9 2 3 4


If a name was defined in a script and you want to open that script you can type:
   edit 'fexist'
