Re: Any one out there have VAX APL Manuals?

With thanks to the excellent people involved in scanning and posting
the VAX APL manuals, I now have a working system :)

However, this of course means I now have a tonne of questions...

Something I can't figure out is how to get APL character overstriking
to work (for example to produce the domino character, or combining 'o'
and '*'). As far as I can tell the manual suggests in a DECWindows
environment that using Ctrl-D between the two component characters
will work, but it doesn't work. I've also tried the COMPOSE key to no
avail.

Is there anyone out there who has used VAX APL in the dim and distant
past who can shed some light? Maybe I'm missing something in the
configuration.

Anyone interested can see a screenshot at

I also have a VT520 which when I startup VAX APL as a VT320 displays
APL characters as mapped to the keyboard but I have the same problem
in using overstrike.

Thanks for the help,

Mark.
