editing zoom for short cut

I would like to know which file to edit pgp or ?. How do I make the keyboard to be able to use ze, zd, za and ect.
Instead of z then enter then d,a,e,and ect.
Please reply,

Actually, you *cannot* add shortcuts of commands *and their options* to the
Acad.pgp file; it only permits shortcuts of the commands themselves.

The simple (and effective) Visual LISP function that Joe posted works well,
but would be better if placed in the AcadDoc.lsp file, instead of the
Acad.lsp file (as Acad.lsp is normally loaded only once per session, while
AcadDoc.lsp is loaded for each document opened).

There is also a bug since A2k <sigh, fix it Autodesk!> that might affect
you. In some situations, if you select a drawing off the Most Recent Used
list on the File menu, none of the code in the Acad*.lsp files will run.
However, if you have a customized menu, place all this code in the menu's
..mnl file, and it *will* load.

| You can do it in acad.pgp or place lines like:
| (defun c:ze () (command ".Zoom" "e"))
| in your acad.lsp file.

| For customization discussions you should post in:

The point is, that your advice won't work for the "typical" installation. It
might work for you, but you posted your advice for the general public.

| Works for me in 2004. Why fix something that works?

You could make enter them in the ACAD.lsp file, and then under preferences "system", tell AutoCAD to load the ACAD.lsp file with every drawing. But how would this affect memory? Would it not accomplish the same as if placed in the "acad2000doc.lsp". And, what is the primary differences between ACAD.lsp, and the ACAD2000doc.lsp?
