    Default need name of fuction for AutoLISP text input box

    A month or so ago I ran across a reference to an AutoLISP function which calls up a dialog box for entering a single line of text. (This is straight lisp, not a dcl dialog box.) It didn't solve the problem I was working on and I promptly forgot the name of the function. Is anyone familiar with this routine? I would really like to use it on some other stuff I'm working on.

    Perhaps it was this:

    Code:
    (acet-ui-txted [text [caption [note]]])
    Example:
    (acet-ui-txted "" "Caption" "Note")

    will cause this to display:

     (lisped "Test")

    'lisped' was the routine I was trying to remember. Thanks for the help. I had never heard of 'acet-ui-txted' before. I'm definitely going to have to play around with that one. Thanks for the tip.

    It's part of Express Tools. Small chance someone might not have it loaded.
