Abstract:

As part of the ongoing research program in conversational programming an APL system has been implemented for the PDP-10. As this system is to be a base for extensive study in conversational programming the system was programmed entirely in Bliss, a high-level programming, language specifically designed for the writing of systems programs. A few extensions to APL are included in this first version which supports both Teletype and IBMDatel terminals.
