Library settings fail

[Hans-Peter Sorge]

Hi,

A bit strange, as I did not notice it up to now.

This is the starting point ........................
[joy@joyw520 WSTEST]$ ll

drwxrwxr-x. 2 joy joy 4096 23. Dez 23:34 wslib2


Creating a name .................
[joy@joyw520 WSTEST]$ touch wslib2/LLLTTT.apl


Starting APL ....................
[joy@joyw520 WSTEST]$ apl -q

⍝ works as expected ....................... )libs
