In a word - No, at least with AutoLISP.

Also, you cannot normally start a lisp program in one drawing and continue
it in a following drawing.

Some suggestions that may help otherwise:

1. Make sure that your directory and the express directory are listed in
Options/Files.
2. If you are using A2K, either set acadlspasdoc to 1, or
3. Rename your acad.lsp to acaddoc.lsp.
4. Explain your problem in a little more detail.

The path to my custom programs directory is in Options/Files. acadlspasdoc
is set to 1. SDI is set to 1.
The only time I get the message is when I pick a drawing of the File|Drawing
History....

The acad.lsp file load as it should when I do a standard "Open"......

I don't know anything else to tell...

I have tried to change my acad.lsp to acaddoc.lsp - same results.......

Its seems as if it has something to do with the SDI... When set to 1 I have
the problems... If set to 0, the acad.lsp seems to load with each drawing...

Rodney,

I fear that I am at a loss. Everything I have gets loaded when selecting a
'history file' no matter how SDI is set, or how acadlspasdoc is set, just
as if I had typed 'open'.

Does anyone have any idea what command is being run when selecting a drawing
from the Drawing History in the file menu?
I assume that AutoCAD is running a routine to flesh out the history, and
somehow running "Open" with the included drawing name, but am at a loss as
to what and how it's running.
Why does this matter? Just ties into issues dealing with search paths.

Any other menu selection has a command associated with it (with the
exception of "Send..."). The Drawing History menu selection looks more like
a menu title, i.e.:
ID_MRU [Drawing History]
looks more like:
ID_MnFile [&File]
as opposed to:
ID_APP_EXIT [E&xit]^c^c_quit

Failing that, how can I disable it without making any modifications to the
acad menu itself?

I can disable any menu item that I want by using (reference the above
example for the exit selection):
(menucmd "Gacad.ID_APP_EXIT=~")
But this fails on the Drawing History selection because what actually exists
there is a list of created from the registry, and I don't know how to
address them.
BTW, Have also tried (menucmd "P1.21=~") just to see if it would work (with
various values in the "21" slot) to no avail...

Any help would be appreciated.

As you noted, changing the menu isn't going to help you any. However, you
can disable it by setting the number of drawings in the MRU to 0. In
Options>Open and Save tab, set 'number of recently used files to list' to 0.
You can do it programattically using vlisp to access
AcadPreferencesOpenSave.MRUNumber.

For anyone else watching, here is a method to set the value:

(setenv "MRUFilesToList" "0")

PS Don't set it above 9 unless you want to waste a little time next morning
figuring why Acad won't run. 🙂
