Are you referring to using Dialog Boxes in LISP? If so - look into DCL:

Screen Menus...Seriously? Man I haven't seen one of those in like 12-15 years.... It is possible, it would take having to go deep into the archives of the brain for it though.

 

Just shout.

From AutoLISP, use the Menucmd function.

 

(menucmd "s=MyCommand")

[size=2][AutoCAD]^C^C^P$S=X $S=S[/size]
[size=2][--][/size]
[size=2][sELECT][/size]
[size=2][WALL][/size]

trying to find the rest of the code but the old lisp book says use "menucmd" (a hard copy book is great at times) you can have screen buttons icon pull down etc
