Re: [Bug-apl] emacs and apl

[Elias Mårtenson]

When it comes to things like development environment integration (things like SLIME for Common Lisp as well as the gnu-apl-mode) Emacs is clearly the better choice, Why not take a look at Emacs? You might actually like it. :-)

Nothing like that - more like i've always been active in the emacs vs vim wars and it would be hypocritical to start using emacs now!!

I remember using ∇ exclusively with tcc apl ()edit with stsc) and can't find how to get a line open for editing and the cursor positioned on the line
I keep trying (something from my memory)  ∇fns[1⎕4] to position the curson at char 4 on line 1 but it all it does is display lines 1 to 4 and then open line [5] for input
