F3 should not be there.

Of course the copy works with workspaces but has this error with dumped
workspaces.

I feel as though I am being pushed to use dump files rather than workspaces
because of the fact that dumped workspaces better survive GNU APL upgrades.
 (I got caught on that one with a WS I hadn't used in a while.)  Not being
able to store the SI on dumped files is unimportant to me because the SI
doesn't matter on a WS you hadn't loaded in a year and a half.  The saved
SI is mainly good for WS's being actively debugged.  But - the ability to
copy functions is used on old WS's.

It would be handy to have )COPY work on dumped workspaces.

Thanks.
