VLISP help!

VLISP help!

(OP)
I am writing a vlisp program to read the dimension entities in a drawing and write them to a text file.  I use ssget to get the dims, then use entget and assoc 42 inside a while loop to read & write the dims. The program works fine for reading the basic dimensions.  But the tolerances are not read.  I checked the entity read by entget and it also shows no dotted pair showing the tolerance.  Dotted pair showing the basic dimension is there in (42. 1234) Can somebody throw a hint on how to crack this one??  
Thank you.

RE: VLISP help!

Tolerances are written as text overrides and are under Group 1 of the DXF codes. Beware, they are a little cryptic if you have not worked with them before.
