LISP Generator II is probably one of those programs that either uses "plain english" or "flow-chart" symbols to describe what it is you would like AutoLISP to do for you. The program probably then translates these "wishes" into the appropriate AutoLISP commands. ie. You want to prompt the user for input to know the length of a line the user wishes to draw. The command might be something like… "Get line length from user" and the appropriate subroutine would be generated in AutoLISP. This is only a guess as to how it works as I HAVE seen similar "program generators" for other programming languages. I placed the inquiry on CSERVE in case someone may be familiar with this product or another similar one. Thanks for your reply, I thought you may need some clarification as it seemed that you doubted such a programming technique existed.
