    "REG" should be the predefined one; but you may add one by yourself in ACAD.PGP file. To access this file, paste the code below on command line:
    Code:
    (startapp "NOTEPAD" (findfile "acad.pgp"))

    On the said file, search for this line:
    REG, *REGION
    and change it to the shortcut you are willing to have; for example:
    RG, *REGION
    After, save the file and call REINIT command and force re-loading of ACAD.PGP file.

    You can use the ALIASEDIT command at the commandline then ENTER, then select your own,
    Mircea is right the default one is REG, which is a lot shorter than REGION.
    Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.
