I now realize what is causing some of the keyboard problems I am experiencing. I believe the SVN repository for GNU APL has some problems. It seems when the support-files directory was re-worked files were moved around BUT somehow the old ones remain. So, for example,

If a file named ABC is renamed/moved to DEF rather than have DEF, we now have ABC _and_ DEF.

If you do a clean checkout of GNU APL you will see a directory named "WASD" _and_ a directory named "WASD-Keyboard". You also see a Dyalog-Keyboard directory with a copy of the old files in the support-directory.

Of course, with subversion, you can't do:

mv ABC DEF
  or
rm ABC

Rather, you must do:

svn mv ABC DEF
  or
svn rm ABC

so that subversion knows what is happening. To fix all this you'll have to:

svn rm XYZ
.
.
.
svn commit

the files that need to be removed.



Thanks.

Blake
