Lost Options Dialog Box

[cehlen]

I am running AutoCAD 2002.
Just this afternoon, when I try to use the "save as" from the menu the file box doesn't open up. All I get are the options on the command line.
Please help. I guess that some setting got messed up but have no idea which one it was. I am used to looking at the box which shows the last folder that I saved a file in and I want it back.
Thanks in advance,
Carolyn

SET FILEDIA = 1

FILEDIA ?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. You are my savior for replying so promptly with the correct answer. FILEDIA = 1 worked and everything is back to normal. I wonder how this got screwed up to begin with? I did nothing out of the ordinary.
I would have worried about this all weekend. Although I figured that the answer was something like this, I could not find the correct command to save my soul.
Is there a web page that lists these various commands for future reference? I checked my big AutoCAD book but could find nothing in there.
Again, you have saved me a lot of headaches and worry. Your help was greatly appreciated.

If you have express tools loaded you can go to

Express...Tools...System variable editor
As you scroll down the list of system variables a
description of each is shown.

Probably happened when a macro or LSIP or VBA routine either crashed or was poorly written and did not restore system settings back to the way they were.

I don't have express installed as far as I can tell. I didn't load the AutoCAD into my computer. I sent it to the guy who made the computer and he loaded it on for me. Is it on the main disc or is it a seperate program?
Is there any other way to get this list?

After some searching, I found this web site:

http://www.hyperpics.com/system_variables/index.asp

that has a listing of over 500 system variables. It doesn't say what each one does but it is a start. You can also download the information in pdf format from the web site.
