    Here's something odd; try this:

    (defun out_of_order()
    (princ "\nHello! You'd expect")
    (princ "\nthese lines to be displayed")
    (princ "\nbefore the dialog box opens, but...")
    (setq fname (getfiled "Pick a file any file" "" "" 0))
    )

    You get the first two lines, then the getfiled dialog box opens, and only after that does AutoCAD display the last line. What gives?

    (defun out_of_order()
    (princ "\nHello! You'd expect")
    (princ "\nthese lines to be displayed")
    (princ "\nbefore the dialog box opens, but...\n") ;<- note slight change
    (setq fname (getfiled "Pick a file any file" "" "" 0))
    )
