Greetings,
.APL files seem to be better support, and due to version compatibility problems, are to be strongly favored IMO. So, if we are to make greater use of .APL files, I'd like to see two things:
1. )QLOAD on .APL files should be silent just like it is with .xml files.
2. Can a config flag be added to make the output of a )DUMP look more APL'ish? I know I typed ")DUMP" just like I know when I typed ")SAVE". Why should ")DUMP" give all that information that ")SAVE" does not? I'd like the config flag to make the output of ")DUMP" appear _exactly_ as it does for ")SAVE".
(As a side note, I understand the difference between the two, and I like what the .XML file gives us. I also think the way you associate SAVE with the .xml format, and APL with the DUMP format is good.)
Thanks!
Blake
