    Why diesel?

    Just add this macro to a toolbar button:

    ^C^C^P(STARTAPP (strcat "EXPLORER /e," (getvar "dwgprefix")))

    useful, but why is it throwing a number "33" at my command line?

    no errors, just a number 33 with two spaces in front of it.

    there is no number 33 in any combination in the dwgprefix.

    Just add this macro to a toolbar button:

    ^C^C^P(STARTAPP (strcat "EXPLORER /e," (getvar "dwgprefix")))

    33 is of course the devil's way of telling you the
    startapp request was successful; a return value of
    nil indicates failure. This is outlined in the help.
