Re: Trivial feature request

No, actually, I hadn't meant that, but I certainly don't object.

(Putting a newline between an "if" condition and the statement means you can put a breakpoint on the condition.)

Thanks.

Hi, Jürgen,

A really minor request:

What this does, obviously, is allow command-line one-liners like, for example:

apl --OFF -s --LX "((4 5 6)+(7 8 9))÷2"

Without the patch, apl just goes into accepting-input mode; with it, apl can be used, for example, to evaluate expressions in scripts:

VAL=`apl --OFF -s --LX "((4 5 6)+(7 8 9))÷2"`

Thanks,
