	This group doesn't seem to get much traffic (I know that I'm
the n-th person to say this but it's still true).  I've almost finished
a program which downloads an APL font into a Wyse 60 terminal.  It 
should also work for Wyse 50s and I was wondering if anyone out there
would be in need of such a thing or did I just re-invent the wheel?  

	We are using Dyalog APL which has a very nice feature.  It uses
input and output translation tables to remap the character set.  So as 
long you have a terminal that contains the APL character set, you can
generate a map tables and you get an instant APL terminal (with an ASCII
keyboard but you can't have everything).  My company once looked at APL
terminals and they were quite expensive.  This was definitely more cost
effective.
