Hi Troadio,
How about this code.
[code]
(defun c:test (/ p1 p2)
(setq p1 '(0 0 0))
(setq p2 '(10 5 0))
(command "_line" p1 p2 "")
(command "_line")
(princ)
)
[/code]

Well, this would do what you are asking for:
(defun xxx()(command "")(princ))
So if the last command was LINE, running (xxx) would start the line command.
I don't see why you would want to do that though. What are your trying to
accomplish?

Also note that the lisp cannot be a command function (c:xxx), because
running XXX as a command would try to repeat the XXX command.

You might need to be more specific about how you want to use the last command. generally you cant use the command history. But it depends on what you are trying to do exactly

Hi Ken,
nice tip, Ive been using (defun c:xxx()). It is self repeating and you eplain why. My question now is how could I use this in the command line w/o having to enter (xxx). Just xxx.

You can't do that, you need to do (xxx). I still can't imagine what you're
trying to accomplish though. If you explain, maybe I (or someone else) could
suggest something better.

Hard to tell, but it sounds like he wants to repeat the previous
command, maybe inside of MULTIPLE -- he liked it so much he wants to do
it many times, but doesn't want to retype it.

Although I see no sign of a system variable like ACADLASTCOMMAND, it has
to be stored somewhere to be able to be resurrected with (command ""),
so perhaps there is a registry entry somewhere. But.. would the command
to retrieve it take its place before it could be read? Deep metaphysics
here...

If we solve this one we should start looking at the old 'chicken or the egg' problem!!

I don't think it could be stored in the reg, since each drawing remembers
what its last command was. It's probably stored somewhere that us mere
mortals can't get at.
