That is a strange code. Select on screen, then only if theres two object selected it will change the color and move the other one down . but in your case , all you wwant to is change the layer of the "overlap text".
What constitue an overlap? Exact duplicate of the TEXT entity? i.e string/insertion point/ layer......

1. Text with text overlap
2. Text and object overlap
Wow.... That could be daunting. The first thing that comes to mind is to find the bounding boxes of things and check whether any of their corners fall within the bounding boxes of other things. That probably isn't too hard as an individual comparison, but you would have to check every single object against every other single object. That could add up to a whole lot of comparisons. And iffy possibilities come to mind -- for instance, in the attached image, would you consider the red Text object to "overlap" the yellow Line? Their bounding boxes [blue] do overlap, but not their "content". I guess there must be a way to determine whether the Line itself goes through the bounding box of the Text, but would the basis of comparison need to be something entirely different for different entity types? What would you check for an Arc? Etc., etc....
.. lets go for a particular case where we can identify text and object overlap.Is there a tool or a lisp.I am new to this issue.

Try putting overlap into the Search window. A bunch of threads come up, some of which may have what you're after. If they don't, I think the first order of business is to define exactly what constitutes "overlap" for your purposes [e.g. in my earlier image, do the Text and Line overlap?].
