Thank you. I've added it, but with a small change. The format is now NAME (space) NC

Regards,
Elias

Hi, Elias,

I have indeed started adding a few APL-interaction features to aplwrap, one of the first of which uses your "variables" command, which leads me to a request: a variation in VariablesCommand.cc of "cls = ALL"  that tags the entries in the returned list with their name classes.  That makes it possible for me to get all the non-system functions and variables in one transaction and still differentiate between functions and variables.  I've attached a proposed patch.

Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris,

I've been following the discussions about the GTK wrapper, and while I'm not using it myself (since I work on the Emacs integration) I realise that there are plenty of (potential) overlaps between our projects.

In particular, I want to let you know about the Emacs mode backchannel protocol that the mode uses for directly communicating with the GNU APL interpreter. When started, if gives you a simple text-based protocol through which you can do things such as defining functions or creating listeners that send you a message whenever a variable is changed (this is used by the realtime variable watcher).

It would be neat if you were to consider implementing some of the feature I added to the Emacs mode, and if you do it would be useful if you used the same protocol as I am using.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Elias
