No problem .

>(i) Does K.CoSy provide an IDE (integrated development environment)
>for K or equivalently is K.CoSy just an IDE for K?

I don't quite understand the criterion for that term . I think the
answer is yes . If you are familiar with traditional APL workspaces
and session managers , its like that .
If you click on the screen image to see it full size ,
http://cosy.com/KoSy/KCoSyscr.gif , ( which actually is from before
the disk crash ) and look at the highlighted window K.CoSy.acnts.BobA ,
you will see the the highlighted line in the big window `Current ( which
I now call `text )
1 - 2
I had pressed the f6 key to execute the line so you see it displayed
in the window `l and the result displayed in the variable `r .

The immediacy of these simple mechanisms to facilitate hacking til
you get it right is enormously greater that recompiling whole
scripts .

>(ii) If it is more than an IDE, what would its main uses be?

If it were not for the lack of knowledge of cursor location within
lines , I would even be doing all my text editing in it .
But , beyond being a super calculator , I've so far created simple
"prototypes" for not only new "Jobs" like `.CoSy.acnts.BobA , but
also simple ledgers and lists like those shown .
Yesterday I had to work thru the conversion of Schwab account
histories cut and pasted from their screen into a simple ledger .
I encapsulated about 3 new functions to do things like removing
leading blank columns , evaluating numbers with embedded commas
and dollar signs , etc . These will be in next month's udate .

>Please excuse me if I have misunderstood K.COSy.

I think you have the gist of it .

>Looking forward to your response.

Hope this answers your questions . Please let me know if you
need some further info .
