Subject: Update title block attributes in multiple drawings

Hello,
I am new in doing lisp routines, and use AutoCAD 2007. I am trying to do a simple lisp routine to update title block attributes in multiple drawings (customer name, project name etc). The title block is a block including multiple attributes and fields. My intention is to move the drawings I want to update in a designated folder, to make it easier. I have a very simple script and a batch file to process a lisp routine on all drawings from that folder. Normally I access the attributes from title block with ATTEDIT or -ATTEDIT, but in order to do the lisp routine I need
to use only line commands. Even if I use -ATTEDIT and enter the block and attribute tags I am not getting the display of the attribute value, and I am prompted to select the block with the mouse, that ruins my lisp routine. Any idea how to do it? Thanks.
