I'll concede the point re Overkill.

If I missed the dash I apologize.  Regapps are Registered Applications.  Like anything else that is not being referenced (ex. - blocks) when one purges a drawing you want to clean those out.

@John

thanks for your feedback. Overkill is not needed as we oftentimes deliberately have multiple lines on different layers on top of each other, and Overkill will get rid of these IMO.

I did punt a dash in so I don't know what you are implying.

Purge could possibly have to run in some drawings yes, but not always. I am happy to run it once.

the REGEN is possibly also redundant yes.

all in all the script works fine for what I wanted to achieve. what would you change then if I may ask? and why?

Still needs work.

First you run Overkill to get rid of any duplicate or overlapping lines.

Second you do a -Purge (note the dash?) of Regapps.

Third you do -Purge > All.

Fourth, and finally, you do an Audit.

Why the Regen at the end?  What is that supposed to accomplish?

Your Purge > All is not thorough enough, you don't run Overkill and you don't run Audit.  Why?  You obviously want to do some clean up of your drawing but all you are doing is shaking out the rugs without dusting, mopping and vacuuming.

must be said, local CAD guys did eventually provide the last piece of the puzzle.

Wouldn't you use the SETVAR command, variable name then either a 0 or 1?
