>wondered how it was done

One way is to use a dictionary.

found this later after i posted a couple of things

Sam doing what you want to do is just a matter of creating variables that
are not destroyed once the routine is finished and then checking their value
when first run. See my example below. I hope this helps.

(defun c:myLisp(/ varToBeDeleted)
;; varToBeSaved is only assigned a value if it hasn't
;; ever been initialized. This value is only nil the first
;; time the routine is run during this drawing session.
;; After that the value is kept for the duration of the
;; drawing session.
(if(= varToBeSaved nil)
(setq varToBeSaved "Default Value Goes Here&quot
)
;; varToBeDeleted is always nil because it is deleted
;; each time the routine exits. This is because I have
;; included it in the variable list above.
(setq varToBeDeleted "Initialize Variable Here&quot
) if everyone helps everybody the world will be a better place
