when i choose a command instead of a window poping up to let me choose my options it makes me write everything manual at the bottom of the screen. This has happened before and i had to type something to get back orginal settings of a window poping up but i forgot what to type. Please help

The trick is to find the system variable that sets this behavior. At the command line type:

SETVAR[return]
?[return]
*dia[return]

Rationale: "dia" stands for "dialog." I want to find the sysvars that deal with dialog.

3 items are returned:

ATTDIA
CMDDIA
FILEDIA

If all of these are set to "1" (as opposed to "0") you should have the behavior you are expecting.

PS. Im using ACAD2004 and cannot find CMMDDIA in the help, but it is still workable.
