you could try and do it blindfolded. with the help of the manual you should be able to figure out the correct command sequence. hth

Starting AutoCad with the command line option 'ACAD -R' opens the configuration menu in text mode.

Wow. I'm getting a wave of nostalgia... or is that nausea...or a bit of both...

Now that you mention it, it seems apt that a caveman gives advice on older software. Mind you, Ben Gun lived in a cave as well for how long? 28 years or something?

I would classify R12 not older but "ancient" software.

I remember clearly that R12 was the first version with dialog boxes (or was that 11?). There was a Dos version and a windows version (the first), same as R13 (last dos version). And the manuals were still A4 size, R13 had these small, fat books . But at least they were books. All we get nowadays is a jiffy bag with a CD...

I just remembered there is an R12 manual functioning as a pedestal under my fax machine!
