        !            10: apl \- an apl interpreter
        !            11: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !            12: .B apl
        !            13: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            14: .I Apl
        !            15: is an APL interpreter.
        !            16: All of the operators are exactly as in apl\e360.
        !            17: Overstrikes are often
        !            18: required, and they work (use ctrl-h).
        !            19: .PP
        !            20: Function definition is not what you would expect.  Functions are loaded
        !            21: from files.  The first line of the file is the function header, as you
        !            22: would expect it but with no del.  The rest of the file is the lines
        !            23: of the function.  Lines are numbered, but there are no
        !            24: square brackets with line numbers.  If you say
        !            25: )READ FILE it will load the function
        !            26: in that file.  If you say )EX FILE it will put you in the
        !            27: editor to change that file.  Upon exit, it will read the file in
        !            28: as though by )READ.
        !            29: .PP
        !            30: All of the usual operators are available, including domino.
        !            31: Also available are monadic encode and epsilon.
        !            32: .LP
        !            33: The following
        !            34: .I apl
        !            35: system commands are available.
        !            36: .TP
        !            37: )ASCII
        !            38: .br
        !            39: changes terminal to accept and print ASCII characters and operators;
        !            40: this is the default.
        !            41: If you are stuck in APL mode on an ASCII terminal, `"' is `)' and
        !            42: lowercase letters map to uppercase.
        !            43: .TP
        !            44: )APL
        !            45: .br
        !            46: changes terminal to accept and print APL characters.  Erase is set to 
        !            47: \(*W and kill is set to \(*a.
        !            48: .TP
        !            49: )DIGITS n
        !            50: .br
        !            51: sets the number of digits displayed to n, from 1 to 19.
        !            52: .TP
        !            53: )FUZZ n
        !            54: .br
        !            55: sets the fuzz to n.
        !            56: .TP
        !            57: )ORIGIN n
        !            58: .br
        !            59: sets the origin to n, which should be 1 or 0.
        !            60: .TP
        !            61: )WIDTH n
        !            62: .br

        !            64: .IR apl \&'s
        !            65: idea of your terminal's carriage width.
        !            66: .TP
        !            67: )ERASE n
        !            68: .br
        !            69: gets rid of function or variable named n.
        !            70: .TP
        !            71: )SAVE n
        !            72: .br
        !            73: saves all variables and functions (workspace) in file named n.
        !            74: Workspaces are sensitive to changes in

        !            83: .br
        !            84: like )LOAD but variables and functions are not erased.  Things
