I am a user of AutoCAD(Release 9).Could someone be kind enough to explain
to me that if I want to change the configuration of rootmenu so as to make
it customized to my needs,How should I go about?.Further, do I need to know
LISP in order to accomplish this?.How is the Release 10 version different from
it's ancestor Release 10.Thank You,
Niranjan Murthy.

An understanding of batch files is sufficient to change your menus in AutoCAD.
Look it up in your manual and use a text editor to look at the structure of
the *.MNU files under the AutoCAD subdirectories.  It's not too difficult.
Remember to rename your original files so you can refer back to them until you
get your new files working correctly.  So no, you don't have to know LISP
to modify the menu files.  But AutoCAD is a LOT more fun to use if you learn
a little LISP.  You can greatly streamline your most common commands.
