Hi again,
coming back to our earlier discussion, I have added a profile facility
to the
preferences file. You can say eg:
*apl -p 2*
and then only the lines without a profile and those following a line
saying
*Profile 2*
until the next such line are picked from the preferences files.

In the Android version that is a bit problematic still. This is
because I have no control over the directories where I can save files.
What I do is to construct a command line dynamically and call the
apl_init() (or was it init_apl()? I'm on my phone now so I can't
check) function with it.
Note that I don't necessarily even have a writable home directory.
However, passing on the command line is of course not the only way.
You can have a global variable where I put the information too.
Regards,
Elias

Hi,
I have added $HOME/.config/gnu-apl/preferences in SVN 317.
The files read are now:
*1. /etc/gnu-apl.d/preferences (or
/usr/local/etc/gnu-apl.d/preferences)**
**2. $HOME/.gnu-apl/preferences, and**
**3. $HOME/.config/gnu-apl/preferences**(if 2.failed).**
*
I believe that paths on the command line are rather cumbersome.
A better approach could be profiles inside (or next to) the
preferences files.
You could then select a profile number on the command line and the
settings
of that profile (paths, colors, etc) will be used when GNU APL is
started.

May I also ask that after reading the main config file, the interpreter also
reads $HOME/.gnu-apl.d for load user-level configuration. And finally, it
should also check the commandline so that the paths can be overridden on a
session-basis.
Doesn't it already read $HOME/.gnu-apl/ (without .d)? Though, I would
prefer
this to be put under $HOME/.config/gnu-apl/ and to be configurable through
environment (in addition to command line arguments).
