    I'm writing a Toolbutton macro to join two polylines.

    ^c^c_pedit;m; puts me into a Move command.

    How do I answer command line questions that require alphanumeric input?


    Thank you

    This shouldn't put you into a 'MOVE' command, it does just what you intend
    (I think)
    starts pedit, enters Multiple option, your left with the select objects
    prompt.

    try
    ^c^c_pedit;m;\\;j;

    you'll have to add more to the end in order to specifiy fuzz factor etc.
    Just follow what you do at the command prompt.

    ; = enter (as you know)
    \ = wait for user input (in this case - select object)

    Depends on what version you're running. 2004 allows Multiple selection in
    Pedit; 2000 does not.

    Thank you, Casey, works perfectly now.

    and I just learned another tidbit on how to make life easier.
    have a good one,

    You could also use the pljoin.lsp from 2000.
