IBM kind of recently came out with APL2/PC.  It's very nice, and I think
it costs around $500.  It includes user definable operators, generalized
arrays, and almost everything else in APL2.  You'll need a display adapter
that can download fonts, or else be able to burn your own character set
EPROM.
