Hi Blake,
I see. Not really sure what a good solution would be, but my current thinking is that the page
should get a separate column on the left side with a number of links to other pages that are
related to GNU APL (GNU APL home, GNU APL community, Bits-and-Pieces, info manual,
etc.).
One of the links could be a copy to a separate window with an APL keyboard. Or maybe a
"Keyboard" button right to the "Enter:" button. I am not a web designer so I have to figure how
to do that (ideally such that a click in the keyboard window is pushed into the input field).
Any help is welcome (the current try-GNU-APL page is websock/client/apl_js.html in SVN).
Best Regards,
/// Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,
I kind of got all of that. Here is the problem:
I use "akt" to get to APL characters. I don't use any keyboard configuration. Likewise, those new to APL that wish to "try" it are not going to have any special keyboard setup either. The will be using tryapl.org with a regular browser on a not-specially-configured keyboard. Although I easily get all that you said, the people interested in "trying" APL won't.
Thanks.
Blake

Hi Blake,
there is an input field (after the text"APL Input:") at the bottom of the page.
You enter your APL command or _expression_ into that field and then press enter
on your keyboard or push the button labelled "Enter". The text entered then goes
straight to the GNU APL interpreter.
If your keyboard is configured accordingly, then you move the cursor over the input
field (so that it gets the input focus) and then simply type the APL characters (using Ctrl-
or Alt- or whatever your keyboard configuration requires). The normal keyboard
configuration for GNU APL should do it.
Without a proper keyboard configuration you can first enter command]keyb to
display an APL keyboard in the APL output. From that output you can then copy
and paste individual APL characters to the input field (in my browser you mark the text
and then copy it with the middle mouse button, like it is commonly done in X-based systems).
Likewise you can copy and paste longer APL input lines from other web pages that display
APL code (in UTF-8 encoding).

Interesting, but I can't figure out how to input APL characters.

Hi,
inspired by Dyalog's https://tryapl.org/ I have set up a small server
with try-GNU-APL. Not as fancy as tryapl.org, but at least something.
The URI is:
http://juergen-sauermann.de/try-GNU-APL
The code for the entire server is rather small and stored in the
latest SVN 1131 (subdir websocket).
Enjoy,
