Having coded in nothing but IBM APL for five years, I noticed the difference in GNU APL because things I'd done from habit didn't work. GNU APL now works perfectly from every aspect I know of. It feels like regular APL. Thanks! Blake On Sun, Jan 29, 2017 at 9:56 AM, Juergen Sauermann < juerge

no don't change anything i was just use to'terminating' a function/program/procedure early' in fpc pascal by putting an'end.' where i wanted and the compiler would only see the first 'end'. and 'end' the code at that point and then by commenting the first 'end.' the compiler wou

Hi, the original post was referring to the behavior of IBM APL2. I just re-checked it, and IBM APL2 closes an open function if you enter ∇, even if the ∇ belongs to a comment. In a way ∇ has a special meaning for the editor, just like ES

Hi Juergen, I looked at the http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-apl/2014-07/msg00249.html and that is what i am 'using' as a programming technique - that ∇ is in a uncommented line my 2nd ∇ is in a comment and should be ignored this is more how i use it in codei would uncomment the 2

Hi, which one? The first ∇ opens function im The second ∇ is at the end of the comment and closes the function and brings you back to immediate execution. The third ∇ is the one below the comment line. It opens a function
