Question
I'm trying to use the Layer isolate command within a LSP routine, and then want the next user input to be "LAST", rather than to actually wait for user input...  How do I make this happen....  [I may not see your response unless you copy answer to my e-mail address--- THANKS IN ADVANCE]

In my LSP routine, I have
.
.
(C:LAYISO)
? ??? ---- next line syntax  ??? or add to the previous line ???

Answer
It is not possible for a lisp routine to 'answer' a prompt from another. This is because when you are in the (c:layiso) function, that is all that is running. The calling function is waiting for it to complete.

There are 2 ways to do what you want: 1. Do it from a menu macro. This will allow you to enter the last you want.
2. Steal the relevant code from inside the LAYISO routine, and modify it not to prompt, and instead use an (entlast) or whatever in the code where the prompt occurs.
