	If you mean the Branch arrow, that's still there.  It's mostly
in chapters 5 & 6, where it was in IS 8485.  For example, section 6.1.6 on
statement analysis mentions it.

	If you mean things like if-then-else, and such, they aren't intended
to be there.  I'm not aware of any APL implementations that include them, and
I don't recall proposals for them.
