Description

The TAPLEdit5 Object allows you to use the APL+Win Editor under program control in a Modal manner to edit APL variables or functions. By default, using: Œwcall'W_Edit' 'name' loads function or variable <name> in the APL+Win Editor, but in a Modeless manner, i.e. this instruction returns immediately. On the other hand TAPLEdit5 returns only when you close the Editor window. Moreover, TAPLEdit5 returns 1 if the object has changed during the Edit session and 0 otherwise.
