I do not have APL2/PC (basically, I would like to use the 386 version, but not being able to run it under emm386 puts me off somehow), but this seems a very useful way to get the possibility to use my time a little better.
Does IBM have any publication with that list of idioms, are they published somewhere or (best of all) is such a list available on the net?
BTW, thanks for the encouragement, David. I will be back with lots of questions as soon as I start off in my "plight for understanding" the great features of APL (Right now, I am writing a journal article for my PhD thesis, and I have to get the writing done, or I'll loose my scholarship - and worst of all, access to USENET - how would I live without comp.lang.apl? :-))
