Hi Kacper,
thanks for reminding us of that option. The user can specify this behavior
in one of her *preference* files
(i.e.*$HOME/.config/gnu-apl.d/preferences* for
one user;s preferences, or */etc/gnu-apl.de/preferences* for system-wide
GNU APL preferences.
The option is:
###############################################################################
#
# With the option below you can cause the WINCH signal to change ⎕PW. The
# intended effect is that resizing of the terminal window causes GNU APL
# to adapt itself to the new window size. This seems to work on
GNU/Linux but
# may not work on other platforms! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
#
# WINCH-SETS-⎕PW Yes
and is., like above, disabled bu default. What I don't know, though, is
whether
Apple sends this signal when the window size is changed? It should
always work
if the underlying window system uses X, although I am afraid that some apple
platforms may not be X-based (why not? X is great!).
Best Regards,
Jürgen

GNU APL has an option to make it adjust automatically to the window
size. It's not on by default.
