The keymap came from Sharp APL, which I'd been using for years, but it's
easy enough to modernise it. I'll tinker that in the morning.
The -m switch switched to the SimPL font which was alleged to be
monospace, but isn't quite. I replaced it just now with GNU FreeMono,
which is better, but still doesn't do ]keyb exactly right. I'll see
what I can do about it. For what I do, proportional pacing looks
better, but it's easy enough to make mono the default.

Dear Chris,
Wow. Very nice! A few things I noticed:
1. The -m did not put it in mono font for me (using current GIT).
2. Mono font really should be the default otherwise nothing displays
correctly. Try ]keyb. Try 5 5⍴⍳25
3. You are using an old keyboard mapping. It doesn't match the
output of ]keyb. It also doesn't match my actual keyboard (which was
designed to match the GNU APL standard.)
Thanks.

tell people about it...
Basically, what it does is provide a textual interface to APL that
makes it unnecessary to install keymaps and fonts in xterm,
konsole, or whatever CLI you usually use--the keymap and font are
built into the utility.
If you're interested, all the links are in the last entry in the
Community page at http://www.gnu.org/software/apl/Community.html
For more information, there are INSTALL and README files in the
package. Any bugs or feature requests, let me know.
