I ran into the following AutoLISP code on another forum and I'm trying to understand what the enclosed asterisks mean:
(vl-load-com)
(setq *doc* (vla-get-Documents (vlax-get-acad-object)))
(vla-get-Count *doc*)
I tried searching on stack overflow and google for the answer but did not find anything specific. I'm expecting it to be a part of core LISP syntax, but I'm not 100% certain.
