how can I divide several objects at once in autocad?

how can I divide several objects at once in autocad?

(OP)
Let's say I have 300 polylines of different length in a drawing.  I want to divide them each into 5 equal parts.  Currently, I use the "divide" command, but it only lets you pick one at a time.  Therefore, I have to do it 300 times.  Any help, or tips, or a lisp?

RE: how can I divide several objects at once in autocad?

The best I can do is save you one click on Enter.  Type MULTIPLE, then DIVIDE.  It's still a pain, but at least then you can just keep you hand over the 5 and Enter on the number pad, and go.  There should be a way to do what you are trying, though.
