Connot use $ sign in MENU text

[BIMologist_]

I have a lisp function which I need to PASS a $ sign in the text, could not figure out how to do it as $ is a menu special char.
^C^C(nm_hatchplines "SOLID" "OFC$HL" "OFC$" 32)
It bombs due to $ sign, I can always wrap it in a command as below and then call the command from the menu, but it makes it non dynamic and when they have to add a new set of HATCHING I get a call for. I cannot get rid of $ sign since ARCHIBUS loves them to the heart , so have to have them there/.
thanks



(defun C:HATCHOFC ( / HatchPattern HatchLayer PlineLayer HatchLayerColor )
;setup the variables here
(setq
HatchPattern "SOLID"
HatchLayer "OFC$HL"
PlineLayer "OFC$"
HatchLayerColor 32
)
(nm_hatchplines HatchPattern HatchLayer PlineLayer HatchLayerColor)
(nm_hatchplines "SOLID" "OFC$HL" "OFC$" 32)
)

Hi,
Try
^C^C(nm_hatchplines "SOLID" (strcat "OFC" (chr 36) "HL") (strcat "OFC" (chr 36)) 32)
