Yes bigal  the routine is in mspace when the ssget function in line 55 is executed.  Therefore you would assume that 'cvport would be the current VP such as 2, 3 etc . It should be unique since there can only be one current VP. The problem is the way the human brain works vs the computer!  The ssget function filter does not know "current" as a human might think it only knows a number. That is, (getvar 'cvport) is going to return a number. Just a number with no other meaning to the computer.  Although us humans think it means "current".

So here's the "problem":  the ssget filter sees (cons 69 2).  Every layout could have a number 2 VP. In my example file that is true since every layout has at least one VP.

Therefore as mhupp pointed out we need to also filter for the layout tab number 'ctab .  Adding the filter element (cons 410 'ctab) solves the problem since there is only one number 2 VP on the active tab.

With everybody's help my routine is working.  With special thanks to Lee Mac and his ms2ps program.
