Dynamic Text

Donald Snape

I've noticed that calling the text command from the command line produces the dynamic text function, while calling it from a lisp routine produces the single line text function. Is there anyway of calling the dynamic text function from within a lisp routine?

It sounds like you have "Text" redefined in your PGP file to activate the Mtext command.The built-in Text command creates a single-line text entity, and the built-in Mtext command creates a multi-line text entity. Any argument to a lisp Command function is interpreted as a built-in command name, not as whatever the alias in your PGP file redefines it as.So you should be able to use (command "mtext") to do what you want.
