Hi All and thanks for the replies.
@DEVITG.
I do this for the challenge, not to make my working life simpler. However that may be a consequence of my actions.
As for re-inventing the wheel, been there & done that. I use these people now

Thanks for your help
I found reference to a 'radio_cluster' here ->

but could not find any further info, I forget who posted it.
I see in your lisp that you have used (done_dialog 0) for the Cancel button and (done_dialog 1) for the OK button.
Can you explain the reasoning behind this please, to help the novice - me
Oh, I found where I went wrong with my attempt, I had misplaced this statement (setq fname (strcat flg face sch class ".dim"))
My next 'test' is to pass the concatenated file name into this:
;Find and open data file, *.dim
(defun OPEN_DIM_FILE ()
(if (= NEWTILE "wnrf")
(setq DIM_FILE (open (findfile "wnrf.dim") "r"))
) ;_ end of if
) ;end OPEN_DIM_FILE
atm, (wnrf) is a key in my dcl
I received a tender request yesterday, and as I've had no work since April I need to spend time with that so I will be 'awol' for a while.
