If I start an APL session and do this: 1001 ⎕svo 'foo' 1 ⎕svq ''
Then APL locks up. The OS reponse suffers. There's a lot of disk activity. When I kill the APserver process, APL responds: 100 210 The disk activity continues until a short time after I exit APL. And the question: Should ⎕svq '' also report 1001? (See pg. 331 of the IBM reference manual.) FWIW, I did the same experiment with two instances of APL trying to see whether the "other" APL would see shares offered by the first APL, but I ran into the same lockup problem. -- "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
