Re: [Bug-apl] How to set the screen width in APL interpreter

[Alexey Veretennikov]

Thanks! Both versions works for me on OSX, however on my small linux box tput
is not available while ⎕FIO¯8 works fine.

Jurgen, maybe it could be added as a default configuration for GNU APL
interpreter? From usability point it rather confusing to set this
variable manually (right now I did it in ⎕LX in CONTINUE workspace)
