The Dyalog language reference guide contains all the Dyalog stuff: http://docs.dyalog.com/14.1/Dyalog%20APL%20Language%20Reference.pdf
In particular, ⍤ is described on page 146, and ⌸ on page 139. The formal ISO APL specification can be downloaded here: http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~ljdickey/apl-rep/docs/is13751.pdf Note that for the last link, the file is actually gzipped, so you have to uncompress it before you can read it.
