It's actually AutoLisp, which is a subset of common lisp that is imbedded in AutoCad. They recently renamed it to VisualLisp although it's not really visual anything but it now supports ActiveX (yeah!).

My sister was working for a Interior Designer setting up his computer (a brand new IBM XT <g>) and asked me if I wanted to learn how to use it. She stuck me in front of it with the DOS and AutoCad manuals and a drawing she was supposed to do and left. A week later he hired me.

I've mostly taught myself through reading books, and asking a lot of questions. Going through the same thing with VFP now. I counted all the pages in all the VFP books on my desk the other day. About 8,300+. Most of which I've read in the last 2 month's. Ugh!

>Ah yes. Lisp and Prolog were my favourite languages in University. Where in the heck did you encounter LISP if you weren't in Comp Sci?
