Does anyone know where I can find some good info or how-to's on creating dialog boxes for use in lisp routines?
I kind of know how to do it, but not entirely.
thanks

You can find some info in the AutoCAD help (make sure the Customisation Guide part of help is installed).
I have also found it useful to look at how previously written dialog boxes (like the bonus tools dialogs) have been defined. The practice is easier than the theory>
That is right. From Acad2000, command:
VLIDE
opens the lisp editor. Here, the Menu help table of contents section
Visual Lisp Development Guide
Chapters 11 to 13 have all about DCL and dialog boxes for lisp with sample code for a Hello World box.
You look the manuals and help to take an idea about DCL, but i have a small program called PROTOBOX, that is a Wonderfull tool to create Dialog Boxes whitout write code. You can found a demo version at
