Overwrite line 3 immediately" 7. the GNU APL document Section "3.8.1.4 The Del Editor" suggests this should work. 8. interestingly, the build on macos Intel prompts with the requested line 1, instead of jumping to line 2. It also doesn't clear the line when immediately exiting (when propmted on the wrong line). 9. builds of the apl-1.9.tgz bundle act the same on both platforms (just to compare baselines) 10. it acts the same when I hide the .config/gnu-apl directory 11. I'm pretty sure I tried variations of "-std=gnu++17" also, with same results So. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
