2) Add a new command - )LIBX, perhaps - to show all of the files that GNU APL may load.As much as I agree with the notion of cleaning up the )LIB display, I'm not a fan of using configuration options to change UI behavior. May I suggest an alternative?1) Change the )LIB command to behave as-if GNU APL only deals with workspace files.

Subject: [Bug-apl] Notes on )LIBGreetings,I split my large utilities ws into many package ws'. Now my )LIB command is becoming unwieldy. I noticed the language manual states that )LIB returns an alphabetized list. That is the first issue.I would really prefer not to see .bak files or really _any_ other file that can't be loaded by APL. If I have 8 workspaces, I am seeing 16 files in random order. I would love to have some configuration options to show what I see with )LIB as follows.LIB_EXTENSIONS = set to a list of file extensions to show during )LIB. If nothing is set, show all files.SHOW_EXTENSION = if set to NO, do not show file extensions so that my workspace "Utils.xml" would just be displayed as "Utils".(Yes, I know I could have Utils.apl and Utils.xml. If I hide the extension - it is my problem.)Thanks.Blake
