    One common method is to use a custom mnl file associated with the custom
    menu. The mnl file can contain a series of load or autoload statements to
    load all your custom lisps.

    YES BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO LOAD MY MAIN MNL THAT CONTAINS THE LINK TO EVERY THING ELSE BY ADDED A SINGLE LINE OR SOMETHING TO THE ACAD.DOC FILE OR SOMETHING SO WHEN I SETUP NEW MACHINES I ONLY HAVE TO COPY THAT ONE MODIFIED FILE INTO THERE HARD DRIVE BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW

    Please turn off your caps lock. That is interpreted as shouting in the
    newsgroups.

    If you have a menu being loaded that has a corresponding mnl, then what's
    the problem? When the menu loads, the mnl will load.

    Among other things, the search file paths, which menus should load, and
    toolbar positions are kept in the profile. On a new install I simply copy
    our standard profile arg file to the new machine and set it current. That
    sets the paths and loads the menu, which loads the mnl, which makes
    everything else work.
