supressing command responses in lisp

[Anonymous]

Hi,
This should be a pretty simple question.

I am writing an auto-purge function that is going to run silently on AutoCAD 4.5 startup. Unfortunately, I am unable to keep "-purge" from displaying which layers/blocks/etc. it has deleted. I have tried setting the "cmdecho" variable to 0, both within the function and before entering the function. Does anyone out there know a quick way of doing this?

I suspect it is a switch of some sort that I tack on to the end of the "-purge" command, but I am not sure.

Hi Phil,

I would also set "filedia" to 0.

(setvar "nomutt" 1)

This will kill the command line, but be sure to set
it to 0 when you are through
