<> I would like to thank dec-orphan!blickstein for his list of VAX-11 APL characters, some of which work on my apl\11. Unfortunately, the "dot mnemonics", which comprise most of the operators needed for most applications, don't work. If anyone knows another method which might work, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you. Robert Perlberg Resource Dynamics Inc. New York philabs!rdin!perl

If the APL\11 you refer to is the one from the DECUS library that runs on RT, RSX, or RSTS, the dot mnemonics should work. When you run APL it should prompt you with TERMINAL.., to which you reply TTY if you want to use the dot mnemonics. If this is some other APL... can't help you (APL-11 is the only APL for 11s I know of though I've heard that UNIX has an APL but don't know if it runs on 11s). Sorry about posting a direct reply like this to the net but it seems to be the only way I can get through. db
