I learned what I know from the online help. Seriously. Then, when I'm stuck,
I post here.

My method, as with all things, is to try to make something useful, but
simple at first. Then move on to more ambitious stuff.

I find DCL confusing, and so have a number of half-finished dialogs for lisp
I've written. My recent tutelage under Pete makes me feel like I have a
better handle on it, but I'm a long way from feeling confident about DCL.
That one Pete help me with still has a glitch in it, but I've got to get
some drawings done too.

 

Download a simple lisp routine that uses dcl (there will be two files, a
*.lsp and *.dcl), use it to see how it works, and then study it line by line
using the help files in the customization guide. Then post questions.
Works for me.

 

HiHo;
A really great book on LISP and DCL is
"AutoLISP Programming Principles and Techniques",
by Rod Rawls/Mark Hagen. The LISP documentation
in R12 had a good section on DCL programing.
Also in the help section of Visual LISP a partial
tutortial on DCL programing is sorta helpful.

 

Hey Thanks for all the posts yo! it really help..
i'll try then post.
