Help with tx2mtx

I use AutoCAD LT 2000i. I needed a LISP interpreter to run one of several functions, to combine multiple TEXT entities into one MTEXT. My LT now does LISP, thanks to David T (dtrotzjr) for helping me find LT Boost (http://www.cadaware.com/download.htm ).
Next I found a couple of LISP programs to do the job. The one I'm using right now is TX2MTX, available at several locations:
http://www.cogosoftware.com/downl.html
It only has one problem. It is supposed to leave the resulting MTEXT entity on the same layer that the TEXT entities came from.
Instead, the new MTEXT is on layer 0.
I don't know enough LISP to figure out what's happening. I suspect that there might be a change between R14 and R2000 that is responsible. Can somebody look at the LISP code and see? Any other suggestions also welcome.

Steven, Just change the 2 lines dated 8/6/03 and it should be good to go....
