    I am trying to clean up a routine and need to make it look more like the AutoCAD Prompts. Right now it works but I get a lot of text on the command line. If I turn off cmdecho I get no prompts.
    (command "_.-INSERT" "SG04-detector" "s" AS "r" 0)
    Is there something I can add to the end of the command to prompt for the insertion point and still have it show the block as I insert it.
    AS is my scale factor and rotation is 0.

    I think if you turn cmdecho off then before your insert command add a line like:
    (prompt "\nInsert point: ")
    Then it will show the way you want.
