Changes to the Interpreter:

• Problem: Setting the edge property for the CommandBar object clipped the CommandButton object when redrawn.
   
• Problem: ŒSYS[24] consistently reported 0 when referenced immediately after a ŒWCALL.
   
• Problem: A ŒCOPY did not return a result when the workspace being copied was an obsolete workspace and the workspace had a suspension in it. Also, when the ŒCOPY was run inside a function, the function would suspend when ŒCOPY returned.
   
• Problem: When both the font and text operations were specified in the Draw command, the first text operation at the top of each page did not print with the correct font specification.
   
• Problem: APL would hang when tabbing out of an Edit control that was a child of a CommandBar object.
   
• Problem: When menus were created on a closed MDIForm object, the menu items were duplicated on the MDIForm object when shown.
   
• Problem: APL gave the error message: APLW caused an invalid page fault in module APX20OCX.DLL, when there was an attempt to create the VBProjects collection with the Excel ActiveX server.
   
• Problem: There was a behavioral change between version 3.0.00 and 3.5.01 systems with-respect-to how a naked branch was handled inside a function executed in a callback handler.
   
• Problem: For a style 1 Combo box object, the first two list items was inaccessible and clicking on an item in the list selected the item two rows below the item clicked on.
   
• Problem: The Draw method's font operation failed for nested specification.
   
• Problem: When you resumed execution from a suspended state, the status bar displayed "Ready" instead of "Executing".
   
• Problem: There was an annoying flickering of the status bar in the session manager window.
   
• Problem: APL hung when attempting to create an instance of the Microsoft Word 2000 ActiveX server.
   
• Problem: Fixed many bugs involving the CommandBar, the CommandButtons and the showtext property.
   
• Problem: After setting a Form object’s extent property, the Form's onResize handler no longer fired when the CommandBar object was docked. Also, when the CommandBar was docked on the Form, the Form grew in size by the width or height of the CommandBar, depending on which side the CommandBar was docked.
   
• Problem: When performing a Find and/or Replace with the APL Token options set to the ‘ or  character, all occurrences of the ‘ and  were found.
   
• Problem: While Waiting on a Form object or a MDIForm object, executing either a )reset or )sic did not clear the state indicator (the stack), nor did the cursor return to the 6-space indent.
   
• Problem: Docking more than one CommandBar on the bottom of a Page did not work correctly.
   
• Problem: Under Windows NT, when using a two-line tooltip (separated with ŒTCNL), APL appended a random character at the end of the second line. This occurred only when the total number of characters including the ŒTCNL in the tooltip was an odd number.
   
• Problem: APL crashed when you set the printername property for a Printer object to either the FinePrint or the Acrobat PDFWriter printer drivers.

 Changes to the user command files:

• Problem: The UCMDS3.SF user command file did not have its file access matrix set.
   
• Problem: Executing any user command untied files that were tied before issuing the user command.
    
• Problem: The 1 in x[1;] on line 42 of CMDFORMS in UCMDSW.SF was wrong.
   
• Problem: The ]COMP user command incorrectly returned DOMAIN error when comparing similar functions.
   
• Problem: The 'Calls' and the 'Iters' column headers of the Listview in ]WSTIME were reversed.
   
• Change: The ]RVU user command now enumerates user-defined resources plays WAVE files in DLLs.

Changes to ADF file:

• Problem: The definition for SetCommState in APLWADF.INI was wrong.
   
• Change: Added definition for SetCommTimeouts.

Changes to Workspace(s):

• Change: The GetDOSHandle function found in the UTILITY workspaces gave a DOMAIN ERROR when the tie number was that of a component file with a long file name.
   
• Change: The UCMDUTIL workspace updated to support long file names.
   
• Change: The FileExist function was added to the WINDOWS workspace and the following functions were updated in the WINDOWS workspace to utilize the enhancements to the system function ŒWCALL introduced in version 3.5:
   
• GetDir LOGFONT_Structure WGetOpenFileName WPrintDlg
   
• GetDir95 SetSystemTime WGetOpenLongFileName WinVersion
   
• GetDir_Init WChooseColor WGetSaveFileName
   
• GetWinVer WChooseFont WgetSaveLongFileName
