Re: [Bug-apl] Help.def format

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Alexey,

I have added a description of the help_def() parameters at the beginning of Help.def.
SVN 1031.

Hi,

Looking at this file I started to realize what I miss something.
What do the negative values of the first argument mean?
>From a software point of view it is hard to get if the negative arity
means, there are some values with -3 or even -4 there.

For example we have
help_def(-1, "\\", "Scan",                    "Reduce of all prefixes of B al
and
help_def(-1, "⍀",  "Scan",                    "Reduce of all prefixes

Both of these operators.

Maybe we need to have a defined meaning for these values (if there is no
right now) and change the help.def accordingly?
