the keycaps.
What I did was to have someone else design the template according to my

Dear Elias,
Do you already have a layout? That would save a lot of time. Do you have
a special keyboard config file for it too?
Thanks!

Not only are they keyboards nice (I have one). They also allow you to
design the keycaps exactly as you want to. You can even upload the exact
graphics you want.

Thanks. I need a new keyboard. Not only does the Unicomp keyboard not
have those two functions, it's missing others too.
What do you recommend?

It's a primitive function. They are described in section 10.2.17 and
10.2.18 of the standard.

Left returns its left argument:

As far as I understand, it's an extension that is unique to GNU APL.

Greetings,
APL-1 did not allow functions to be defined with [ and ] in the header.
I've seen it done in GNU APL as follows:

∇
[0] fun[x]y
[1] x
[2] y

Dear Fred,
Thanks for the feedback. Everything has been corrected.
The ∆ function has an interesting history. Before the diamond operator, we
sometimes needed a way to put several unrelated lines on the same APL
function line - mainly for neatness. To accomplish this, we defined ∆ that
took tw
Excellent. Confirmed working as expected. Thank you.

Thanks for your detailed comments, Jüergen.
Point 1: use a file archive rather than git or svn.
Agreed. I'll change my recommendation concurrent with the initial release
of the package manager.
It's certainly easier to rely on source control for updates while still in

Hello Blake,
Two questions:
1) Should the ' ∆ ' (capital delta) appearing on lines 256, 257, 259,
261, 263, 267, and 271 of Editor.apl be ' ◇ ' (diamond). From the
context, it appears that statement separators are needed, not an
uninitialized variable?
2) Is the first line
I'm currently creating a new configure flag: --with-android. When set, it

Hi Elias,
you could try --prefix=. to build in the current directory and set

You need some information regarding the install directories (like
