This drawing demonstrates the problem I'm having with Direct Distance Entry.
I drew the line at 0,0, then typed
COPY (technically, I did a keyboard shortcut of C)
Picked the line
Hit the Space Bar to end the selection set.
Pick a random point to begin the copy
Type in 8' and a Space bar
That's three characters total

No Snaps, No Grid, No OSnaps, No Polar, nothing on but ORTHO

As you can see on the attached drawing, the new line was created 7'-11
57/64" to the right of the original

Here's the Command Line history:
Command: c
Select objects: 1 found

Select objects:
/Multiple:
Second point of displacement: 8'
Command: dist
Specify first point: _endp of Specify second point: _endp of
Distance = 7'-11 57/64", Angle in XY Plane = 0.00, Angle from XY Plane =
0.00
Delta X = 7'-11 57/64", Delta Y = 0'-0", Delta Z = 0'-0"

Obviously, the Spaces and Mouse clicks don't show.

Thanks for all the help. I gotta run now, but I'll check again when I get
home.
