(while (/= (cdr (assoc 0 el)) "MTEXT") (setq qltext (car (entsel " Select text to draw leader to..."))) (while (= qltext nil) (setq qltext (car (entsel " Select text to draw leader to..."))) ) (setq EL (entget qltext)) ) I want to add in the option for a responce of "p" (and "p" does not mean previous here).. to the above lisp.. but am drawing a blank as to how.. (proly basic)..
