ASSOC question

How do i use assoc to retrive a blocks insert point? i guess i am not
understaing how it works becuase what i have doesn't work. Here is what i
have been trying (term is a block ent):

(setq inp (assoc term 10))

 

try: (setq inp (cdr (assoc 10 term)))

Thanks its always the simple things that get me

 

and don't forget, you'll always want to do point translation whenever you access the drawing database. I've found it helpful to search for "(cdr (assoc 10" throughout old code, because this:
(setq p1 (cdr (assoc 10 entx)))
will result in the wrong point if you feed it back to some acad command if the user has changed the UCS. thus, you want:
(setq p1 (trans (cdr (assoc 10 entx)) 0 1))
