program.

Unless you have saved your WS with a suspension (normally considered
bad practice), why not []XLOAD []WSID?

This will achieve the desired effect unless you have edited an object
between the suspension and the []XLOAD.  If that's the problem, simply
leave the object in the editor until after the []XLOAD -- no extra
keystrokes.

Why not just branch to a line that contains nothing but a label and a
right arrow.  This will bring you out to immediate execution without
suspending the function or its caller(s).

Just FTR, I didn't write that (I responded to it, snipped by Ted).  A
bit more care with the attributions, please.

Thank you for all the good information.  I never knew about that way to use
the right-arrow.  Works nicely!

Thanks again,
Tim

It causes lots of fun if you really meant to type {right-arrow}0

That is not the same behavior as )RESET which clears the entirety of the
state indicator, and in the case of Dyalog APL (can't say for APL+WIN) any
unprocessed events in the event queue. A nildadic branch takes one back only
to the point of most recent suspension.

I don't know if this will work in APL+WIN, but I have a function in APL+PC
that might be modified to do something similar.  My 'RESET' function
assigns a whole string of commands to the keyboard buffer and then sets
them off.  It was used to clear the symbol table in a workspace, and after
determining the WSID, executes the following sequence:

  )save
  )clear
  )symbols 1024
  )copy WSID
  )wsid WSID
  #LX<-'StartString'  <I use a standard name for all my WS's>
  )save

Ordinarily, there would be no way to do all of this under program control,
but this dodge works very nicely.  I don't know if the current version of
APL+WIN has the keyboard buffer trick available.  I think I used #INBUF,
and that system variable was available in Ver. 1.0.

That's true, Jim, but if you use this technique, you can avoid building
up a lot of junk in the state indicator.  As long as you only have to
deal with the latest problem, it works fine.
