    It is the internal 'default' filename that AutoCAD generates - just to have a 'name' of the file - case you want to save it.

    You cannot get around this.

    actually, i'm interested in changing the default text from txt.shx to
    simplex.shx. I'm assuming some tool or 'lisp' has these default settings..
    any suggestions?

    have a 'name' of the file - case you want to save it.

    Create a template file (DWT) using that font as the standard in your
    Standard textstyle and dimstyle. Either name it acad.dwt or point your
    workstation to use that teplate to start in.

    If you start with a 'template', do style command, set to simplex, and save the template.
    If you have a .dwg open and you want to change it do:
    (command "_STYLE" "standard" "simplex.shx" "" "" "" "" "" "")
    If you want to force (all) new drawings, place above in your acaddoc.lsp file.
