    NASCENT  4th.CoSy TUI

    A crucial aspect of the efficiency for the user/programmer in CoSy is the interface , nowdays called a "Textual User Interface" which allows the intermixing of machine executable "sentences" within an ongoing log or diary of notes , etc , for purely human , tho machine searchable , consumption .

    This is the first documentation initially written within the 4th.CoSy system itself . Only a few function keys have been defined . Most salient , tapping F1 will present their definitions in the "res"ult window .

    The key that virtually defines CoSy is F6 which evaluates the line in this "text" window under the cursor . In current 4th.CoSy , The line is evaluated by the Reva FORTH interpreter in which the system is written and anything emitted is spooled and displayed in the "res" window . Note because commands are executed directly in FORTH any typo or wrong thought has a good chance of blowing the system away .  Thus it it strongly recommended to click the "Save" button ( or ctrl-s ) before doing anything exporatory . This will save the environment so it will be restored the next time you restart .

    Here is a simple example . Put the cursor on the line below and tap F6 :

      1 2 - _i

    The F5 key is complementary to the F6 key in that it inserts the contents of the "res" window into "text" at the cursor . Try it .
     
    All the text , and anything that persists from session to session is stored in the CoSy "1-tree" dictionary . See http://cosy.com/CoSy/NL0506.htm and the CoSy.f file for more detail . For instance , the definition of the  F1 key is  { " help" (sym) v@ van rtype } which retrieves the value of the object ` help  from ` R grabs the content of it , and
     "types" it to the result window .

     The F1 help has been edited simply by editing the contents of "res" and executing :

    |  res> cs-> help

     ( Note , I commented the line above so it won't be accidentally executed . )

     Likewise this text has been edited and retrieved using the lines below .

      text> cs-> IntroHelp
    | ` IntroHelp v@ van >text
    | ` IntroHelp v@ van type        | list in  res .

     There is a lot more to go into , but there are some major transformations ahead so this introduction is intended as just a taste of the nature of things to come .

     Below are some examples , including my notes for the presentation at Ray Cannon's APL Moot outside London last August . I have cleaned out most of my personal notes ( yes , I have started using this as my daily log suplementing old K.CoSy ) .

     Please post any Reva FORTH level questions on the Reva forum , or , if on the
     CoSy APL level , feel free to inaugurate the CoSy forum at
