Sorry, but I don't get it:
I understand neither what this script is all about (no need to save and restore variables when reading in a dxf, imo), nor why it shouldn't work (it certainly does so on my linux box, when I adjust the path to point to an existing file).
You would need to be more specific as to what the problem is...

 Hi Knut

sorry i haven't made this very clear...

what is meant to happen is to load a DXF file from a the same folder every time by clicking on a button on a tool bar.

we always save a DXF file from CorelDraw to the sample folder all the time. it always has the same name (DIE.dxf)

this routine works in AutoCad 20010

(defun c:diein ()    (setq UserOS (getvar "osmode"))   (setq Userdimsize (getvar "dimtxt"))   (setq UserUcsion (getvar "ucsicon"))        (command "_dxfin" "c:/profile/temp/die.dxf")    (setvar "osmode" UserOS)    (setvar "dimtxt" Userdimsize)    (setvar "ucsicon" UserUcsion)

(command "zoom""e""zoom"".85x")

(princ))

Jim, as mentioned by Knut, your code works OK. There must be another issue: DXF format? Path? Diesel?

 Hi Roy

i have managed to drag and drop the dxf file in with out any problems, and i can type DXFIN and locate the file and open it without any problems

i wonder if bricscad has an issue with the path ?

Jim.

Looks like a bug to me... as far as I can remember, the slash should work on all platforms.
