Hi, as to opinions, I believe I don't like that either.
Please remember that we have user-defined commands now, so you can easily create your own commands that do things in the way you prefer. /// Jürgen On 07/10/2014 03:43 AM, David B. Lamkins wrote:
Personally, I'm not a fan of having tools codify what's essential a stylistic convention. Looking at it another way: This is something I call the "principle of least surprise... An experienced APL programmer shouldn't have to be told that )FNS, )OPS and )VARS all have a hidden feature that must be explicitly disabled to obtain the expected (and standard) behavior. That said: This is something that's easy to do in APL without changing the underlying platform. Here are a couple of functions that you could use as a starting point: ∇z←⍙class ni ⍙set ⍝ Return a character array of every workspace name which includes ⍝ all characters in ⍙set. The empty set matches everything. The ⍝ optional ⍙class argument selects results by name class; the ⍝ default is 2 3 4 (variables, functions and operators). ⍎(0=⎕nc '⍙class')/'⍙class←2 3 4' z←⊃{ (∧/⊃(⊂,⍙set)∊¨⍵)/⍵ }{ (∧\' '≠⍵)/⍵ }¨⊂[(1+⎕io)]⎕nl ⍙class ∇ ∇z←⍙class ne ⍙set ⍝ Return a character array of every workspace name which excludes ⍝ any character in ⍙set. The empty set excludes nothing. The ⍝ optional ⍙class argument selects results by name class; the ⍝ default is 2 3 4 (variables, functions and operators). ⍎(0=⎕nc '⍙class')/'⍙class←2 3 4' z←⊃{ (~∨/⊃(⊂,⍙set)∊¨⍵)/⍵ }{ (∧\' '≠⍵)/⍵ }¨⊂[(1+⎕io)]⎕nl ⍙class ∇If you want to list all names not containing ⍙, do this: ne '⍙' To get just the variables: 2 ne '⍙' Or just the functions: 3 ne '⍙' Or just the operators: 4 ne '⍙' The ni function is complementary. Add a ]usercmd definition or three to customize this to your taste...

Since the idea is that those are internal names it would make sense to hide them (unless some other flag is given). Opinions? Regards, Elias
