I cannot add a comment because I keep getting " This action requires 50 reputation."

Short answer:

Make the first 2 characters of your script: #!

In immediate execution you can load the script with commands )LOAD or )COPY.

If an APL program is being executed then e.g. ⍎')COPY filename' can be used.

When I use `)LOAD` or `)COPY` I get an error message saying that the file "does not have the format of a GNU APL .xml or .apl file". – August Karlstrom Apr 28 '19 at 20:34

I created the script with a normal text editor. What I want is the ability to edit APL code in a plain (UTF-8) text file. – August Karlstrom Apr 29 '19 at 14:18
