That's already possible. Search for "Emacs APL" or read the comp.lang.apl FAQ. > When doing copy & paste, Emacs passes the ASCII sequences, not the > Unicode characters. The reverse mapping is not well-defined (because there are several sensible transliterations for a single APL symbol) and hard to get right automatically. Nowadays, it makes much more sense to simply copy the Unicode symbols to the clipboard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
