Command Aliases Abbreviations Missing

[Anonymous]

I like the new feature in 2012 where I can type a couple of letters at the Command Prompt and get several commands to pick from but I would like to have the command alias back (for me) such as typing E and the Erase command would be there.  I went to Express Tools and loaded the acad.pgp file; typed RE-INIT at command prompt but there was not change.  Closed the program and restarted and still no change.  When I type E, the first command is EATTEDIT.  I don't see any of the aliases abbreviations. How do I get these to show up?

I had mistakely submitted this question first to the Civil 3D site.  I received a lot of responses and help from them and a solution was found.  I going to share it here.  Below is a response from Jeff M and this fixed the problem. 

If the (findfile "acad.pgp") returns nil, then it's not finding, or using, the acad.pgp file. I started up a machine with a brand new install of ACA2012, skipped the registration, closed the Exchange window, typed in E and sure enough, the shortcut commands are showing just fine. So I used (findfile "acad.pgp") and it returns: "C:\\Users\\MYLOGIN\\Appdata\\Roaming\\Autodesk\\A​CA 2012\\enu\\Support\\acad.pgp" . Verify that this path exists in the Support folders AND that the pgp file exists.

This path was not in the Support under Options-Files so when I added it, it worked like I wanted it to work.  Don't know why this path did not go in when program was installed but it's there now.

Is this what you are referring to.

Go to the command line and right click, select auto complete, and select suggestion list.
Now when you type in 'E' a list of possible options will appear.
