Toolbar for Lisps

Sorry if this has been covered a thousand times but I am trying to add a toolbar with buttons that will lunch lsp routines. I am working with Autodesk Map5. I am having a hard time figuring it out. The info I have found doesn’t seem to match my version of cad. Any help would be appreciated.

It's kinda old but maybe this will help

Here is a macro to load and invoke a lisp from a toolbar button

^c^c (if not c:LISPCOMMAND)(load "LISPFILENAME"));LISPCOMMAND;

^c^c (if not c:LISPCOMMAND)(load "LISPFILENAME"));LISPCOMMAND;

When using load, always fill the second variable to avoid errors if the file cannot be found/loaded.

(or c:LISPCOMMAND)(load "LISPFILENAME" nil));LISPCOMMAND;

When using load, always fill the second variable to avoid errors if the file cannot be found/loaded.

But if the file cannot be found/loaded wouldn't you want to know? It's only a one line macro for a toolbar button...

It's to avoid an error. Be it nil or a string, you always want to fill the second variable.

For instance:

Command: (load "blah.lsp")

Error: LOAD failed: "blah.lsp"
Command: (load "blah.lsp" nil)
nil

Command: (load "blah.lsp" "can't find the file!")
"can't find the file!"

I should have posted this..

(or c:LISPCOMMAND)(load "LISPFILENAME" "LISPFILENAME cannot be loaded!"));LISPCOMMAND;

Thanks for your help. I was able to get my toolbar setup with the use of the link.
