About This Document

This document introduces Dyalog's cross-platform IDE (Ride). It describes the installation process and Ride's user interface (windows, menus, customisation options, keycode/keystroke mappings, etc.).

Ride can be extensively customised; this document assumes that the default configuration is in use.
