If I had several lines of Dtext below one another and I wanted all
these lines of text to be on the same line (the first line with gaps)
after picking them, how would I start to write something like this?
.....Unless of course someone has written something already that does
something similar and they would be kindly willing to share it. Thanks
in advance.........

Go to my site at http://www.geocities.com/dtrotzjr/prj_ctext.html
There you will find a project called ctext. This utility will take multiple
mtext entities and dtext entities and make a singe mtext entity from them.
You can use psaces to seperate the individual entities or returns. your
choice. BTW this is no east task as it may apear. look at my code and you
will see why. I have fully documented it so you can see some hidden
(undocumented) limitations for MText creation in lisp.

Let me know if this works.

I just posted attrib.lsp in customer files. It inlcudes the following:
nodash DRIVES REPATT WITH - TO <NULL>
repatt REPLACE ATTRIBS GLOBALLY, INTERACTIVE
null DRIVES ATTREP WITH <NULL>
adt adds text values with a space, doesn't erase anything
adtx adds text values without a space, erases subseqent entities
att STUFF TEXT VALUES INTO ATTRIBUTES
swap SWAP TEXT OR ATTRIBUTE VALUES
res REMOVES LEADING AND TRAILING SPACES
ate ATTEDIT ONE REPLACE
atm ATTEDIT ONE MOVE
atc modify the height of an attribute
atw modify the width of an attribute
ath modify the height of an attribute
atca ATtribute Color All
atem attribute edit multiple
athm attribute height multiple

The routine you're looking for is adt.
