Transparent LISP Command

Hello All,
What is the procedure for making a LISP command transparent, ie. being able to use the command while active in another command?

Thanks

 

AFAIK, you can't use a LISP *command* transparently. You can, however, use
many LISP *functions* transparently by just typing the LISP expression at
the appropriate prompt.

(vlax-Add-Cmd)

Search this ng, there have been several examples posted in the past.

If you are talking about starting a lisp while in a command, all you have to do is (have the lisp already loaded) and issue a ' before the function at the command line.. Like
command: line
pick
'mp (my mid-point between two points lisp routine)
next point...

If you are talking about initiating a lisp from inside another lisp I think it has to be a function (already loaded in your acaddoc lisp or in the program itself) not a "c:defun" command function - but I'm not sure about all the details about this - anyone else want to chime in?

 

Got me! Thanks.

I was about to say you're wrong, as this never worked in earlier versions,
but darned if it isn't legal in 2004! When did this change happen?
