I have not seen it
It may have been done a long time ago even if I have not seen it.

I still have not seen it and I would like to see a step by step
description on how to do it.

I would not mind do it with APLX either if I can use my national
characters at the same time as the APL chars.
IncidentallY can do that with Dyalog (with Unicode support) now

I only need a short description how to do the above in Dyalog and then
I can say truthfully that I have seen it.

So can I use APLX with out characterproblems?

Obviously I would need to get APLX for free educational use for the
schools if it can do the rest.
Otherwise it is no good to me.

I find it quite exciting that I will soon be able to start use APL for
real again.
