command alias

[jwanstaett]

It doesn't show the command name and when I bring up the text window it does not do it either. It seems as though commands that are specifically for land desktop do not have a command name that I can find. Is there a way to define a command without knowing the original command if there is one. Or another way to run that command in a lisp routine. thank you

check the MENUECHO System Variable

Type: Integer
Not saved
Initial value: 0

Sets menu echo and prompt control bits. The value is the sum of the following:

1 Suppresses echo of menu items (^P in a menu item toggles echoing)

2 Suppresses display of system prompts during menu

4 Disables ^P toggle of menu echoing

8 Displays input/output strings; debugging aid for DIESEL macros

^C^C^C^P(er_mnl)(zz_sdsk '(er_grdplnslp));LDD

This is what it says when I go to button properties in the customize menu. The other commands that I am looking at also have this same format more or less. This part is listed in macro associated with this button.

I am not sure what these commands do but, you should be able to paste this (er_mnl)(zz_sdsk '(er_grdplnslp)) at the command line and get your command to run. Maybe someone else in here uses LDD and can explain another way to run this command or acheive the same results as what this command does.

This might give you some insight on how to work with these commands.

They look like they are lisp routines already, and they may not allow additional input through lisp to run. Some lisp commands do not allow input through lisp (ie getXXX commands).
