In the following menu lines: ***POP3 [Edit] [Erase]*^C^Cerase si auto [Move]*^C^C$S=X $s=move move si auto . What does the $S=x do? . Does the $s in "$s=move" have to be in lower case and why? . I have noticed that some submenus have numbers following the submenu name. For example: DR2 3. Yet, when the submenu is called it is only called by $S=DS3. Is there any reason for these numbers? Thanks for your help. ……..Rudy

Rudy – The "$S=X" switches to a blank submenu named "X" to clear out all item labels before switching to another submenu. The "s" can be either upper or lower case. The numbers you see after some submenu labels indicate the starting box number for that submenu's labels, so you can load a submenu starting halfway down the screen and avoid overwriting a command's main options, for example. All of this is explained in Appendix B of the AutoCAD Reference Manual. .
