                     **** USING SCRIPT WITH ACAD 12 ***

With the removal of the ACAD Main Menu, AutoCAD 12 Poses several problems.

1. OPEN is the new change drawing command not (2)
2. If you END or QUIT You are Out of the Drawing Editor Completly
3. The SCRIPT Program adds the "0" at the end of the SCR file to Exit ACAD


To fix these changes, I have added a few things to SCRIPT 3.x

1. Copy the files "S-OPEN.LSP" and "S-END" to you AutoCAD Dir.

2. Insteed of using QUIT Y  and  2 to move to another file use
   (LOAD "S-OPEN")
   FILE

3. Insteed of using END and 2 to move to another Drawing use:
   (LOAD "S-END")
   FILE

4. Insteed of using NEW for R-12 use :
   (LOAD "S-NEW")
   FILE
 
5. RUN the Script Program as follows:  SCRIPT /R12
   (This removes the 0 and adds QUIT)


PURGEING DWGS.:

Note the following differences between R11 and R12

	R11 TEMPLATE		R12 Template

	2			(LOAD "S-OPEN")
	FILE			FILE
	ZOOM			ZOOM
	E			E
	WBLOCK			WBLOCK
	FILE			FILE
	Y			Y
	*			*
	.QUIT			EXIT
	Y
	EXIT

Notice the only differences were the Addition of the (LOAD "S-OPEN") and
the Removal of the QUIT Y.


UPDATING DWGS:

Note the following differences between R11 and R12

	R11 TEMPLATE		R12 Template

	2			(LOAD "S-END")
	FILE			FILE
	ZOOM			ZOOM
	E			E
	.END			EXIT
	EXIT

The Same thing applies to the above.	


USE S-END  to Save the Current DWG and Move on.
USE S-OPEN to Quit the Current DWG and Move On.
USE S-NEW  to make a NEW Drawing File and Move on.

Please let me know if you have any problems....
