I think STSC's Pocket APL may be a good way to go.  My understanding
is that you can upgrade to their full package (STSC APL*PLUS/PC) for
some reasonable cost (maybe the difference in price between the two
packages).  I have not seen the pocket version (which, I am told lacks
such niceties as a full screen editor, large workspace capability,
and most of the PLUS' extensions -- like graphics) but suspect it is
the way to go for someone

	1. unsure about APL
	2. on a budget
	3. considering upgrading once (1) is changed from 'unsure'
	   to 'certain'
