I am busily converting our apl\11 to work under 4.2 because the Purdue APL, though much nicer, is just too deeply in bed with overstruck characters and wants its own editor; we like to use Emacs with an "apl mode" for editing. Ours uses dot codes, but they are not the same as any of the other dot codes you were given. Try .it 10 20 20 .rh 'abc' .qd _ 'Hi mom' and see what happens. If that does anything useful I can send you the whole character table. Brian Reid
