[Bug-apl] location of cursor on new apl session

Heck, it's open-source, if you don't like it the way it is try changing it yourself.

is this apl2 (which was ibm's second failed attempt to push apl) or gnuapl?

very complicated messing with LineIndex.cc with allocated_height - 1 and in LineIndex.hh messing with set_cursor got it to stay at the top but still input scrolled up one line and input stayed on 'same line' - instead of a true ^M as in the xterm

but with the script -- fixed in 878 compile (my 877 compile didn't work ??) I'm getting the results that i want/need with ^M and 'clear screen' working properly in xterm with script

i already was using vi edit )dump file and then )copy in to workspace any way so this progression to pure scripting is i guess just progression in same direction.

now to convince the stubborn gnuapl dev that a 'comment is a comment' in a fns you don't want wikipedia to say ... a comment is a comment in EVERY COMPUTER PROGRAMMING lang except gnuapl ... do you ? ;)

or to convince the stubborn user that typing ⍝ ∇ in IBM APL2 closes the

∇-editor even though

the ∇ looks like being commented out? And that EVERY PROGRAMMING

LANGUAGE #includes

IBM APL2 even though the user does not like IBM APL2 ?

thanks for the fixes

Hi,

yes. Every line Input starts at

LineInput::get_terminal_line()

You can generate the Doxygen documentation to generate call graphs etc to browse through the code.

The cursor is most likely positioned in

LineInput::edit_line() through the LineEditContext object (lec).

The function doing that is LineEditContext::set_cursor()

If you want to see who has been calling you (say, in set_cursor()) then simply insert the macro BACKTRACE

at the point of interest.

can you give me a specific thing in the source to look at so that 'enter' does not go to the end of page ? we went over allocate_height and it didn't seem to be the place
