I just took a look at solwbl.lsp but failed to get it working under the german version due to the fact that I have to translate certain commands (ucs=bks, erase=loeschen, etc..) Unfortunately I have a US keyboard and though I can find OE, UE (ALT-[) my favorite editor (vi) does not accept 8 bit characters neither does EDIT. Wasn't there some escape construct – ALT-decimal code? Another question: What does the period mean in: (command ".ucs" ) ? –Chris

Chris, You may want to try the LANG.zip here on the Forum… it has some limited translation ability from english to german, etc. The (command ".ucs") ensures that the *true* "ucs" command is used. If for some reason another program redefines "ucs", the ".ucs" (note the period) will get you back to AutoCAD's hard-wired "ucs" command. Brian P.S. Where are you logging on from? (just curious…)

I'm sitting in Aachen (West) Germany near the Dutch and Belgian border, 50 Miles from Duesseldorf and Cologne, 130 miles from Brussels and 280 miles from Paris. I'm logging in via X.25 to a Tymnet Number in Frankfurt/Main (150 miles) (Your mileage may vary 🙂 –Chris

Mine varies a lot (since I'm in Florida, U.S. of A.)! <g> Ah, Aachen… seat of Charlemagne, Karl der Groesse, Holy Roman Empire. I'm familiar with it. When we were in Germany on vacation in 1987, we wanted to visit Aachen and Trier, but since I had to see relatives in Kassel, we couldn't take the detour 🙁 Maybe next time. Brian (Kuehne) Boatright

Ah, but then again, I'm an architect! <g> It's beaten into us in History classes…. Brian
