As I've stated before, I am not smart enough to understand that spec.  IBM's language manual is readable, and it is clear about how it works.  Also, I just tested IBM APL 2.  It works as I describe.

According to the IBM APL2 Programming Language Reference (page 423), the )COPY command should not copy ⎕PW.  The manual states:  "The only system objects that can be copied are ⎕CT, ⎕FC, ⎕IO, ⎕LX, ⎕PP, ⎕PR, and ⎕RL.

Current GNU APL:
