Andrew I screwed up the thread, so hang on. Again, a zillion thanx for the knock-out effort you put into trying to get me to see the light about calling in a lisp routine from within another. Basically, the answer you gave was the same as Tony's & a couple of other's. Unfortunately, for me at least, I was left at third base every inning. The winning lotto goes to Rusty Gesner from New Rider's Publishing (I think it's a magazine). Rusty writes, "Try this: (C:CHT)". Don't you hate guys like that? Well, it worked, turning my life around. I'm shaving again, doing my own shopping, & decided not to renew my membership in the Euthanasia Society. I do appreciate your 2 messages & will keep them & try them out if anything herein related goes awry. I think maybe your suggestions work on a (defun cht, with no C:, maybe. I'll keep you posted. Appreciatively, Jeff

Jeff, You will find that C:CHTEXT works the same as with CHTEXT. Just substitute (C:CHTEXT) for (CHTEXT) throughout. Now I know what your question *was*. I obviously missed the start of the thread and have been going off at a tangent ever since. New Riders Publishers are book publishers, who specialise in computer titles. I *think* they are part of Macmillan who are (were?) owned by Maxwell. If you want to know who Rusty Gestner is, buy Maximising AutoCAD volumes one and two, the best books on customising AutoCAD available today! Andrew
