Although there is an acadm.lsp file as well and there has been some minor changes in the acaddoc.lsp, any custom code must follow the existing code.
Thanks for clarifying.

Hearing your story encourages me to push the envelope by growing my programming skills.
That is kind of you to say, Clint.

I do know the payback is in the automation that was achieved up to this point.

Blackbox: Please monitor this thread from time to time as, starting next week, I will devote some time in developing your excellent suggestions.
FWIW -

I do most of my work-related coding during my lunch break, or after my shift to avoid loss in production.

The multiple Acad*.lsp files may seem complex at first... Keep it simple, setup one, get it working well, and only then replicate as needed, tailoring to suite. I didn't inherit this structure, nor implement it in a day... This is instead the result of small evolution from one methodology to another. Take your time, do what's best for your situation, even if that means a simpler/different methodology altogether.

I'm always here, unless I have a submittal.
