Avoiding Copy and Paste to secure clipboard data progress!

Need someone to get this tool to crash for a test and get me to find solution.

Had this previously using no entmake or trans but seems to work now.

     (setvar 'cmdecho 0)    
   (vla-endundomark (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
      (if msg (prompt (strcat "\n" msg)))
        (setvar 'cursorsize 100)    ;; reset to my prefer
     (setvar 'cmdecho 1)    
 (princ)
  )

(command "chprop" "_L" "" "la" "XLINE" "") ;; make xline grey

The character (_) is missing in these lines.

(command "_chprop" "_L" "" "_la" "XLINE" "") ;; make xline grey

Maybe that's the problem.
