    I have a course involving an overview of several languages
including APL.  I have installed the APL interpreter distributed
in the 4.1Bsd Unix source on my 4.2 Vax.

	My Problem:
	    The documentation for the distribution is not very
	informative.  I am experiencing difficulty just getting
	started with APL, as I don't know what a valid program
	for the 4.1Bsd interpreter looks like.


	Question1:
	    Does someone out there have a *simple* program, using
	most of the usual syntax of the 4.1 interpreter? If so,
	could you send me a copy?

	Question2:
	    Could someone point me towards more complete documentation?

	Question3:
	    I heard somewhere along the line, that there was a driver
	for the gigi terminal, that would display the APL character set,
	and work with the APL interpreter; is this true?  I seem to
	remember this floating around on the net; is it possible to
	obtain it?  How? Where?

		Thank you for your time,
						Al
