The Visual LISP Developer's Bible - 2003 Edition

Type in VLIDE at the AutoCAD command prompt to open the Visual LISP editor. This will load the VLISP ObjectARX application interface (vlide.arx) that loads and enables the IDE for use while AutoCAD is in use. Because Visual LISP is an integral part of AutoCAD, you cannot use the VLISP IDE without AutoCAD being in use. ................
