Mmm I forgot something very important: the convention When typing any file name, you must replace the . with @ For example: if you want to open "acad.lsp," you would type "acad@lsp"

(defun c:**r** nil (if averigua (progn (vlr-remove **a**) (setq **a** nil averigua nil) (princ "Open-file Command-line DEACTIVATED");"SensiCMD DESACTIVADO") ) (progn (setq **a** (vlr-command-reactor "***" '((:vlr-unknowncommand . averigua)))) (defun averigua (a b / c) (if (setq c (findfile (vl-string-subst "." "@" (car b)))) ;;; (decodifica c) (LM:open c) ) ) (princ "Open-file Command-line ACTIVATED");"SensiCMD ACTIVADO") ) ) (princ) ) Here you go. Copy this code into the acad*.lsp file where you save your custom lisps. Once loaded, you can enable or disable the included code by typing the **r** command. I assume you've downloaded Lee Mac's code (LM:open). It's perfect for what you need, so I've included a call to "LM:open," but you'll have to add the code for this function yourself. As for the **r** command, when the included code is enabled, anything you type on the command line that matches the name of a file found in any of AutoCAD's "SupportPaths," "LM:open" will open it with the default Windows application. This will happen without any command being executed To disable the code, just run **r** again. PS: When typing any file name, you must replace the . with @ Example: to "acad.lsp" type "acad@lsp" I hope it's useful

Thanks Jerry and BigAl, The main use I have for this one is when I want to edit a LISP file - pop up dialogue to select the routine, open the file in notepad, 'Find' which usually takes me to the LISP name in the file. The find dialogue all happens without me needing to press any buttons. BIgAl - handy but in this case I know the file name and location to go straight to it - handy later in life if I don't know what file I want though, thanks MHUPP - going to look into that this morning, saving the answer into my "make windows work right" file Undoing the alias as in the link was the trick (Start Menu - settings - Apps - Advanced App Settings - Alias), pinned the proper notepad to the task bar (not the new one, located in c:\windows\notepad.exe or c:\windows\system32\notepad32.exe), now to set the proper notepad as the default as it should be.

in windows 11 they have two notepads now. think you will have to remove the app one to go back to the classic one. https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/windows-11-notepad-classic.html

Nice, I was thinking AcFdFieldReactor because it has all those plus REGEN, but it’s not available to lisp. You might add REGEN to the list, so the user can see the updated values without needing to save or plot.
