Run lsp File after AENEXT or AEPREVIOUS Command

I am trying to run a simple lsp file to set my text style to "Arial" and the size to "2.5" for the MText. At present the default is "Arial_Bold" and size "4". Is there a way to run a lsp file each time the previous or next drawing is selected.

If not does anybody know where the standard MText defaults can be modified?.

The default text style can be set using the TEXTSTYLE system variable.
If the text style isn't set to use a specific height, the TEXTSIZE system variable keeps the default height of the new text.

This should be easy to implement in the acaddoc.lsp so that it's set every time a file is opened.

Thank you for your response. I tried adding the following to the ACADDOC.lsp which is loaded at startup:

 

(command "TEXTSTYLE" "Arial")
(command "TEXTSIZE" "2.5")

 

It did not change the default style and size, any ideas?

If you do it manually, does it work then?
