VLIDE Keeps Appearing on Command Line

I seem to be at a loss to explain this so I'll try just saying it. A program which was working fine this morning has suddenly shown some erratic behavior. One thing I seem to notice is that when I load the VLIDE with this drawing open and I place the cursor in the VLIDE the () cursor appears. This is supposed to mean a command is open but I just rebooted, haven't even loaded the code in the edit window to be run yet. I click back over in the drawing and vlide disappears from the command line. I go back over to the vlide and the () cursor appears again. As I said, I'm at a loss to figure this out because I haven't run anything yet, so why do the () appear. And when it does, there seems to be some problem with my code which was otherwise working this morning working as it should.

I should mention here that there is code loaded in the edit window. This is not a case of nothing being in the edit window.

Bill, when switching to VLIDE from AutoCAD, it is normal for 'VLIDE to be shown at the command line. While VLIDE is a separate GUI altogether, it (the VLIDE) is still running under the VLIDE command (transparently).

Separately, is there a problem with some of your LISP code at execution? Which routine? Are you debugging your routines prior to releasing for users consumption?

Yes, I as normal I spend more time debugging that writing code. I think I've narrowed it down. The computer I work on at the client's office is on a Novell LAN and it has zenworks, antivirus, and all kinds of other add-ons which run scans at any given moment. I think something in one of these add-ons is cause havoc as I never have this problem on my home computer or my laptop. I find that rebooting the computer brings things back around to normal. It's a pain, but hey, the IT guys have their reasons for all this overhead and it's not my place to complain.

Hi..  I have a semilar problem..  in command line I write the code let's say (defun sinus (setq xr (* PI (/ x 180)))(setq s (SIN xr))), and the autocad gives me "sinus", like it is nornal..  but I paste the routine in vlide and load it and charge it to Autocad..  And the result is just the word vlide in command line..  It does not execute any...

Try

(defun sinus ()
(setq xr (* PI (/ x 180)))
(setq s (SIN xr))
)

Nothing will happen should see the word sinus
