Re: [Bug-apl] emacs and apl

Hi,

much simpler: edit a (UTF8 encoded) text file and )COPY it.
vi(m) is perfect for this.

Variables can be assigned like in APL, i.e.

VAR←1 2 3

Functions can be created via ⎕FX (hardly readable) or (may favorite) 
using ∇:

∇Z ← AVE B
 Z←(+/B)÷⍴B
∇

The file must start with #! so )COPY knows it is a text file and not an 
XML file.
You can also create such files with )DUMP instead of )SAVE.
