I very much want to be able to cut and paste directly between my APL session (or editor), my word processor, and my Web browser. I can use Bill’s suggested layout in Dyalog/W with no problems, but in APL*PLUS III I am stuffed, as there is no way of getting at their mapping table. Does this matter? Readers please advise!

A couple of small quibbles — Bill has put ⍷ in the ‘bad’ area along with ⍬ and ≠. I can live without ⌶ and ⍫ (would you ever send someone a locked function over the net?!) and possibly even ⍞ (sorry, SigAPL) but I make heavy use of ⍬ and increasing use of ⍷. Some kind of straw poll looks a good idea before we nail this one down for good by offering the fonts and .DOTs on an APL Web page.

With these provisos, I would be delighted to offer the APL2741 TrueType design to the agreed encoding, and also to provide a bitmap session font (and appropriate web.dot) for Dyalog APL.
