Can't find a way to do it, either directly or with regular expressions. Only way I can think of is to make a macro to copy it to a new file, mark the beginning and end with some outrageous character and copy it back.

Anything more straightforward?

Yes! It works. I am revising my world view: The foreground of the Current Line isn't the text, it is the dashed outline. But the Item list doesn't reflect that; it shows dark yellow characters on a light yellow background.

PS: Why dark yellow?

Thanks

Can it be made to go away? It interferes with underlines. I have the current line highlighted with very pale yellow and would be happy just with that.

I have had reasonable luck with Monospace821 BT, which seems pretty prevalent. However, I have my setup to Fixedsys (1024x768). Works fine.

I'd like to add toolbar icons for several of my macros. Doesn't seem possible but maybe I'm missing something.

Admittedly, I don't gusee very much any more. But I still supoose.

Yes, it's right there on the config pull-down. But it only works in one direction. What I had in mind was 2 vertical views of the same file but in different places. This would greatly facilitate cloning repetitive code or checking for small differences. I resolved the problem by making a copy of the ...

Is it possible? I want to compare two similar areas in the same file.

On its way!

I will also post it to autodesk.autocad.customer-files at discussion.autodesk.com.

Look for Lisp.Syn at about 52K. If you can't find it give a holler and I'll send it along. Very exhaustive. It's an education just reading it to see all the vla commands.

I have a little macro that sorts indented groups of lines:

ahsjdfkl
>ghjek
>sdfjkl

bjklddp
>chjk
>vuio49

etc.

all goes well until the sort box, which comes up and hangs until I hit enter. Then the macro completes. How can I sort in a macro hands-off?

thanks

I use TP to edit Visual Lisp programs, which are rich in parentheses.

Is it possible to create a macro to evaluate a selection and identify an unmatched ( or )? Match Bracket will verify that a function is complete but can't pinpoint the place where a missing paren throws off the balance.

You could create a Syntax file for just this word. How to do this is well described in Help and there are several files already included that you can read, copy and modify for your own use. If you are already using a syntax file find some unused heading and put the word there.

Presently 3 documents loaded. 2 show vert and horiz bars as configured in Preferences but the third does not. I couldn't find any options for this in View/Document Properties. File is 2200 lines, so I'd really like it back.

Is it possible to highlight the current document tab? As it is, the active tab is not very distinguishable from the others.

Or is this a wish list item?
