APL TTY codes
I think we should have on this net a standard APL notation to be used
when talking about specific APL notation. The following is the TTY-APL
notation used by A P L . M S, the APL that runs on the UNIVAC 90/70
computers running under VS/9 written at the Moore School, U of Penn.
This notation was derived from a notation used on an earlier version of
APL that ran, I believe, on DEC equipment.
The TTY notation is listed below. The basic ideas behind the notation
are these:
1) Special APL characters that are found by shift-<LETTER> are coded
as '@<LETTER>'. Thus rho, which is shift-R, is coded '@R'.
2) Almost all special APL characters (including the ones discussed
above) can be coded as a three character sequence beginning with
the character *dot* followed by two letters. The letters are
chosen to suggest the special APL character in some way, usually
by referring to the character's major *functional* name. Thus the
delta stile character, whose functional name is "grade up,"
is represented '.GU'.
Perhaps a copy of this table should be kept by each reader of this
newsgroup for future reference. The individual character names are taken
from IBM documentation for APL.
