Yes, Pocket APL is a bargain.  When it was produced, it was 
identical to their full-blown product, with a few exceptions, like
full screen editor, and some limit on the number of files one could
access at one time.

Two other bargains:

I-APL                     See APL Quote Quad, vol 17/3, page 2.
Sharp APL for IBM/PC      See APL Quote Quad, vol 18/4, page 31.
