Subject: APL-11 help
Hi,
The APL-11 documentation is still (and only) available from digital. You'll
have to get in touch with a dec salesman to order it. There is no on-line
documentation.
What follows is a table of mnemonics used in ASCII mode for the APL characters.
The TTY mode in APL-11 doesn't use keywords (like "rho"). Instead it uses
either single character substitutions ("#" for multiply/signum) or "dot
mnemonics" like .RO for rho.
Here is the table. This table is actually for VAX-11 APL and so not all of
these are available in APL-11, but the standard APL symbols are the same
as in APL-11. (Things like control characters probably aren't in APL-11).
Hope this helps.
