;  AutoCAD Program Parameters File For AutoCAD 2004
;  External Command and Command Alias Definitions

;  Copyright (C) 1997-2002 by Autodesk, Inc.

;  Each time you open a new or existing drawing, AutoCAD searches 
;  the support path and reads the first acad.pgp file that it finds.

;  -- External Commands --
;  While AutoCAD is running, you can invoke other programs or utilities
;  such Windows system commands, utilities, and applications.
;  You define external commands by specifying a command name to be used
;  from the AutoCAD command prompt and an executable command string 
;  that is passed to the operating system. 

;  -- Command Aliases --
;  You can abbreviate frequently used AutoCAD commands by defining 
;  aliases for them in the command alias section of acad.pgp.
;  You can create a command alias for any AutoCAD command,
;  device driver command, or external command.

;  Recommendation: back up this file before editing it.

;  External command format:
;  <Command name>,[<DOS request>],<Bit flag>,[*]<Prompt>,

;  The bits of the bit flag have the following meanings:
;  Bit 1: if set, don't wait for the application to finish
;  Bit 2: if set, run the application minimized
;  Bit 4: if set, run the application "hidden"
;  Bit 8: if set, put the argument string in quotes
;
;  Fill the "bit flag" field with the sum of the desired bits.
;  Bits 2 and 4 are mutually exclusive; if both are specified, only 
;  the 2 bit is used. The most useful values are likely to be 0 
;  (start the application and wait for it to finish), 1 (start the 
;  application and don't wait), 3 (minimize and don't wait), and 5 
;  (hide and don't wait). Values of 2 and 4 should normally be avoided, 
;  as they make AutoCAD unavailable until the application has completed.
;
;  Bit 8 allows commands like DEL to work properly with filenames that 
;  have spaces such as "long filename.dwg".  Note that this will interfere 
;  with passing space delimited lists of file names to these same commands.
;  If you prefer multiplefile support to using long file names, turn off 
;  the "8" bit in those commands.

; Command alias format:
;   <Alias>,*<Full command name>

;  The following are guidelines for creating new command aliases.
;  1. An alias should reduce a command by at least two characters. 
;      Commands with a control key equivalent, status bar button, 
;      or function key do not require a command alias. 
;      Examples: Control N, O, P, and S for New, Open, Print, Save.
;  2. Try the first character of the command, then try the first two, 
;      then the first three.
;  3. Once an alias is defined, add suffixes for related aliases: 
;      Examples: R for Redraw, RA for Redrawall, L for Line, LT for 
;      Linetype.
;  4. Use a hyphen to differentiate between command line and dialog 
;      box commands.
;      Example: B for Block, -B for -Block.
;
; Exceptions to the rules include AA for Area, T for Mtext, X for Explode.
