Functions are loaded +from files. The first line of the file is the function header, as you +would expect it but with no del. The rest of the file is the lines +of the function. Lines are numbered, but there are no +square brackets with line numbers. If you say +)READ FILE it will load the function +in that file. If you say )EX FILE it will put you in the +editor to change that file. Upon exit, it will read the file in +as though by )READ. +.PP +All of the usual operators are available, including domino. +Also available are monadic encode and epsilon. +.LP +The following +.I apl +system commands are available. +.TP +)ASCII +.br +changes terminal to accept and print ASCII characters and operators; +this is the default. +If you are stuck in APL mode on an ASCII terminal, `"' is `)' and +lowercase letters map to uppercase. +.TP +)APL +.br +changes terminal to accept and print APL characters. Erase is set to +\(*W and kill is set to \(*a. +.TP +)DIGITS n +.br +sets the number of digits displayed to n, from 1 to 19. +.TP +)FUZZ n +.br +sets the fuzz to n. +.TP +)ORIGIN n +.br +sets the origin to n, which should be 1 or 0. +.TP +)WIDTH n +.br +sets +.IR apl \&'s +idea of your terminal's carriage width. +.TP +)ERASE n +.br +gets rid of function or variable named n. +.TP +)SAVE n +.br +saves all variables and functions (workspace) in file named n. +Workspaces are sensitive to changes in +.I apl. +.TP +)LOAD n +.br +gets the workspace in file n (which must have been +)SAVE'd.) +.TP +)COPY n +.br +like )LOAD but variables and functions are not erased. Things +in the loaded file take precedence over stuff already in. +.TP +)CLEAR +.br +clears the workspace. +.TP +)DROP n +.br +deletes file n in your directory, which need not be saved from +.I apl. +.TP +)CONTINUE +.br +exits and saves workspace in file +.I continue +which is loaded next time you run +.I apl. +.TP +)OFF +.br +exits +.I apl. +.TP +)READ n +.br +reads in a function from file \fIn\fR. The first line is the header, +with no del's. The full APL\360 header is accepted. All other +lines in the file are lines in the function. Lines are implicitly numbered, +and transfers are as usual. There are no labels. +.TP +)EDIT n +.br +runs the editor +.IR ed (1) +on file \fIn\fR, and then )READ's the file when you leave the editor. +.TP +)EX n +.br +runs the editor +.IR ex (1) +on file \fIn\fR, and then )READ's the file when +you leave the editor. +.TP +)VI n +.br +runs the editor +.IR vi (1) +on file \fIn\fR, and then )READ's the file when +you leave the editor. +.TP +)LIB +.br +lists out all of the files in the current directory. +.TP +)FNS +.br +lists out all current functions. +.TP +)VARS +.br +lists out all current variables. +.TP +)DEBUG +.br +toggles a debugging switch, which can produce vast amounts +of hopelessly cryptic output. +.SH FILES +apl_ws \- temporary workspace file +.br +continue \- continue workspace +.SH AUTHORS +Ken Thompson, Ross Harvey, Douglas Lanam +.SH BUGS +This program has not been extensively used or tested. +.bp +.SH ASCII CHAR MNEMONICS +.nf +.ta 0.5i 1.0i 3.0i 3.5i 4.0i + + & \(*L and # \(mu times + \- \- minus + \(pl add + < < less than > > greater than + = = equal to , , comma + % \(di divide * * exponential (power) + ! ! factorial and combinations ? ? deal + .le \(<= less than or equal .ge \(>= greater than or equal + .ne \(!= not equal .om \(*W omega (not used) + .ep \(*e epsilon .rh \(*r shape (rho) + .nt \(no not (also \'~\') .tk \(ua take (also \'^\') + .dr \(da drop .it \(*i iota + .ci \(ci circular function .al \(*a alpha (not used) + .cl \(lc maximum (ceiling) .fl \(lf minimum (floor) + .dl \(*D del (not used) .de \(gr upside down del + .jt \(de small circle (null) .qd \(sq quad + .ss \(sb right U (not used) .sc \(sp left U (not used) + .si \(ca Down U .su \(cu U (not used) + .[^ \(gr upside-down del .bv \o'\(lf\(rf' decode (base) + .rp \o'\(lc\(rc' encode (rep) .br \(or residue (mod) + .sp \(<- assignment (also '_') .go \(-> goto + .or V or .nn \o'\(*L~' nand + .nr \o'v~' nor .lg \o'*\(ci' log + .rv \o'\(ci\(or' reversal .tr \o'\(ci\e' transpose + .rb reverse bar .cb \o',-' comma bar ( not used) + .sb \o'/-' slash bar .bb \o'\e-' blackslash bar + .gu \o'\(*D\(or' grade up .gd \o'\(gr\(or' grade down + .qq \o'\(sq\(fm' quote quad .dm \o'\(sq:' domino + .lm \o'\(ca\(de' lamp .ib \o'\(rc\(lc\(lf\(rf' I-beam + .ex execute (not used) .fr format(not used) + .di diamond (not used) .ot out (not used) + .ld \o'\(*D~' locked del (not used) ._a A alias for \'A\' + ._b B alias for \'B\' ._c C alias for \'C\' + ._d D alias for \'D\' ._e E alias for \'E\' + ._f F alias for \'F\' ._g G alias for \'G\' + ._h H alias for \'H\' ._i I alias for \'I\' + ._j J alias for \'J\' ._k K alias for \'K\' + ._l L alias for \'L\' ._m M alias for \'M\' + ._n N alias for \'N\' ._o O alias for \'O\' + ._p P alias for \'P\' ._q Q alias for \'Q\' + ._r R alias for \'R\' ._s S alias for \'S\' + ._t T alias for \'T\' ._u U alias for \'U\' + ._v V alias for \'V\' ._w W alias for \'W\' + ._x X alias for \'X\' ._y Y alias for \'Y\' + ._z Z alias for \'Z\' +.fi |
