upgraded to AutoCAD 2018 and tedit.lsp no longer works!!

[Anonymous]

My company recently upgraded to AutoCAD version 2018 and now I cannot get the tedit.lsp to work....
I have to be able to edit multiple texts, both Mtext and single text.
I have researched to no avail. Can someone please help?
I have successfully loaded the lisp routine and it will allow me to enter the command and select items but when I press enter to start the editing process, I get the unknown command error. I've attached
thanks in advance

DDEDIT command is obsolete for a few years.

Hi @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

As others have indicated, this is no longer a valid command.  Simply double-click on the text entity and you should be able to edit the contents.

thanks for the reply.

I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. I realize that you can double click, then edit and that's all well and good for one at a time however I like to work a bit faster . I want to be able to select  multiple texts (either Mtext or single), then start editing....one after the other without going back and forth between selecting then typing, selecting then typing...... I don't understand why this is not a standard feature with acad?? It is so apparent how much users like this capability. A search returns many people complaining about this
