The documentation for APLSE is woefully incomplete.  It lacks
any mention of the more than 100 System Functions and Variables
(so called QUAD fns) that are needed to develop fully useful
applications.  For example, you need these QUADs to manage
both DOS and APL files, to turn off the mouse cursor that's
inadvertently left on your screen, to trap errors that users
might make, to manage screen messages, colors, and menus, and
many other needed operations.

If you already know APL*PLUS, maybe this isn't a problem.  But
for beginners, I strongly suggest that you get PLUSDEMO.ZIP, a
demo of APL*PLUS that has documentation of these QUAD fns, as
well as a well-designed keyboard diagram that's far better than
the keyboard documentation supplied with APLSE.

APLSE is a powerful full featured APL that lacks documentation.
PLUSDEMO is a powerful way to learn APL*PLUS that lacks the
ability to write and save workspaces for you or others to use.

Put the two together.  Get a powerful combination.
