Workaround for FILEDIA and new drawing

    I am looking for a work-around the following problem. Normally when
    opening a new drawing, a dialog box appears of available templates. If sys
    variable FILEDIA is set to 0 the template name prompt will appear on command
    line. However, if a script or program is active, the template name prompt
    will appear on command line even if FILEDIA is set to 1. How to I get
    around this to force the dialog box to always come up so that I can
    incorporate it into my AutoLISP routines. I know that I can use the tilde
    symbol, but I need a work-around to place at the end of my programs to
    insure that the next call for a new drawing will display the dialog box.

    Thanks
    Craig
