    I am ready to write some Accelerators and the Help is quite clear in the 2 formats available. I have the Macros already writen out and I am ready to enter them. What isn't clear to me is where to put the text. Am I missing something in the Help that tells me where the "Accelerators" are located?
    Thanks for any help available. Read Ya Later -KLYPH

    From my help file
    "You can define your own shortcut keys (or accelerator keys). The following
    is a short example of an Accelerators section in an MNU file.

    ***ACCELERATORSID_Line [SHIFT+CONTROL+"L"][CONTROL+"Q"]^C^C_quit
    [CONTROL+SHIFT+"Z"]^C^Czoom extents"The second sentence says it is in the
    MNU file. You can modify the acad.mnu with your changesor for a better
    idea, start your own mnu file so you won't lose customizations as the
    program is upgraded or reloaded.Let me know if you need further
    formats available. I have the Macros already writen out and I am ready to
    enter them. What isn't clear to me is where to put the text. Am I missing
    something in the Help that tells me where the "Accelerators" are located?

    Kent, thanks for opening my eyes. Your idea about a separate file is a good one. I am suddenly so busy that I won't have time this week to try it out, but, I'll post another question if I have difficulties. Probably not, now that you showed me where to go. Thanks, Read Ya Later -KLYPY
