Re: [Bug-apl] Format of the ~/.gnu-apl/preferences

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Christian, Alexey,

The preferences file is self-documenting - all constructs understood are,
possibly commented out to act as examples, contained in the file.

The preferences file is meant for settings parameters that cannot easily be set from APL itself.
Things like ⎕PW or ]BOXING are supposed to be set by APL itself. There are many different ways for
doing it, e.g. via a )CONTINUE workspace, or via )COPY,  or with ⎕LX.

On the same subject, I would love to have Quad-PW set to 1000 by default.

Hi,

What is the format of the preference file? Can't find anything in
documentation.
I need in particular to set ]BOXING 8 on every startup and probably some
other options (turn off the colors for instance and define some helper functions).
