Explode only for single objects

Hi

Why is that the explode command will only accept a single entity or group to explode if called from a lisp?

Of course it can be worked around easily I'm just curios why it behaves differently.

Hi,

look for QAFLAGS system variable...

to 1 and back to 0 (do not forget)

@M76: The reason is to maintain compatibility with previous versions of AutoCAD and therefore AutoLISP routines that were design under those versions and syntaxes.

And this isn't the only case; the below codes are both working - due to the fact that sometime in the past the alignment options were placed on first prompter of TEXT command:

 
(command "_TEXT" "_J" "_MC" '(0 0) 5 0 "TEXT")
(command "_TEXT" "_MC" '(0 0) 5 0 "TEXT")
