Hi Blake,

correct. And I believ it doesn't.

      )load xxx.apl
loading )DUMP file /home/eedjsa/projects/juergen/apl-1.3/src/workspaces/xxx.apl...
WAS CLEAR WS

      )load xxx.xml

Dear Juergen,

Okay. I see. But this does lead to one more question. Presumably, if a .apl and .xml file exists for the same workspace _and_ the user specifies the full file name (with the .apl or .xml) then you wouldn't have to issue an error about the two versions of the same ws since the user specified exactly which to load. Is that true?

Thanks.

Blake

    Hi Blake,

    In MS windows, file extensions are everything (so important that they
    have spent extra efforts to hide them for the dumb user).

    In Linux they are more like a convention but not a must. GNU APL
    searches
    first for a file with the name provided by the user and only looks
    for .xml or
    .apl files if no file with the name given originally is present.

    Therefore files Editor.apl~ and gg can be )LOADed and )COPYd and are
    therefore shown. I might hide files starting with '.' (current
    only directories
    ./ and ../ are hidden) but I am not sure. They can be useful at times.

        Greetings,

        )LIB should only show .xml and .apl files and not any other
        files.  For example:

              )LIB
Devices.xml KeyedFiles.apl box.xml boxing.apl file Editor.xml gg



         Editor.apl~ and gg should not be displayed.  )LIB displays
        workspaces and not files.

        Thanks.
