    Far too many lisp applications, after being loaded, can not be unloaded. Why, and how can I unload one? I see no reason to leave it loaded and don't want to restart Autocad just to do so.

    No. It just doesn't make sense to me that you can't do it. I don't like to leave stuff I'm not using loaded in memory.

    Why do you think you need to do that? There is no unload capability as far
    as I know, but you could set the function nil if you insist.

    (setq C:APPNAME nil)

    Also, if there are applications starting up with AutoCAD that you don't
    need, then simply delete them from your APPLOAD startup suite.

    IMHO, you need to get over that, or you'll spend your life obsessing over
    things you can't control :)

    You could use autoload instead of load to make an application available.
    This will guarantee that it isn't loaded at all unless and until it's
    actually used.
