                  always the way :-)  ^^^^

 Hmm, I don't want to use function key redefinition as they
 already do a few useful things by default (and I've gotten
 used to them being there :-)
 As I said in my other message UNDEFINE works well, but
 it's far from permanent - open another drawing and it's
 lost.
IU>> Will that work with TAN, END, MID, QUA, CEN selections

 I may well consider that approach - but in the meantime I'd
 still like to know where in Acad (r12) the "end" (as in quit)
 is defined and of secondary importance where I could tailor
 mid, end, tan, qua, cen, ins etc to become single hot-keys
 I suppose the .mnu files are not the one's I ought to try
 altering? The above selection names are in there!  :-)
 JB> if you're using ACAD/DOS and are interested, let me know
 JB> and I'll go into greater detail.
 Let me hang in with the desire to attack an Acad file first :-)
 Thanks for sharing your solutions - I may have to fall back on
 them.
