Topic: How to rewrite a command macro.

[thunderfoot]

$M=$(if,$(eq,$(substr,$(getvar,cmdnames),1,4),GRIP),_stretch,^C^C_stretch)

This is the command macro for the 'stretch' command in AutoCAD, can someone tell me how to rewrite it to always use a crossing window?

I have written a lisp that is not really a lisp:

(defun c:ss ()
   (command "stretch" "c")
)

It is effective enough, I'm just trying to learn about programming. My knowledge on the subject is almost nil.
Also what are the '$' symbols?

Thanks,
