Re: [Bug-apl] MacAplAlt.keylayout & updated Installation Guide

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Peter,

I will be happy to create a Mac folder and include your files there.

The reason for ⍙ sitting on two keys is that I was so used to ⍙ on 
Shift-∆ that
I left it there (see also the folder called "old-Keyboard" which was my 
initial
keyboard layout (and how I believed it makes the most sense).

Then I purchased a Dyalog keyboard and found a number of characters in 
different places.

Since my layout was kind of proprietary, I then changed to the Dyalog 
keyboard but left the ⍙ where it was
(and my fingers still find it there).
