Len — You've called it pretty close. When you LOAD a file, AutoLISP redirects standard input from the keyboard to the file, so for all intents and purposes, LOADing a file works the same as if you had typed in the expressions at the keyboard. Did you know that there is a way to create a function that will allow you to create local variables and will vaporize after execution? Look up the definition of the function LAMBDA in your AutoLISP Programmer's Reference, and take a close look at the file SETUP.LSP, which was included with your AutoCAD release disks. — Brad ..
