Herman,
You can get around Autodesk's built-in limitations by using DOSLib's
(dos_regset) and (dos_regget) functions - they write keys\values to
the HKey_Current_User\Software\Doslib section (by default), which has
the double effect of (a) allowing you as many dwg's to register as you
wish and (b) having the list be "owned" by the user's profile. It's
great if you are also incorporating roaming profiles from an NT
Server, because whenever the person logs on to any machine the correct
dwg. history pops up.
And you need to be careful about using (getenv) and (setenv) to read
registry values, as I think they are cached and flushed at drawing
exit. In R14 anyway, it can cause problems with numerous sessions
open.
