Hi Alexey,
thank you for submitting the patch. The effect of the patch seems

Hi there APLers!
I found it too annoying that APL creates .apl.history file in whatever
is current directory and spams my filesystem, so I've patched it to
create this file in user's $HOME directory by default. Maybe you'll
find it useful as well.
