cad program is running..
ie

JD,
This may or may not help. I am new at most of this but anxious to help someone if I can. I have only had two versions of AutoCAD on my machine at any given time. I know that the last one accessed becomes the default if a file is opened from explorer. Maybe, if you are opening the program from the lisp you could include the full path to the execution (.exe) for the version you want to use(?).

I'm looking to have a lisp routine available to autocad and it's vertical
products. But the utility it will launch is dependant on the version of cad
running. so i guess i need some sort of env variable telling me which
autocad is running... i guess that's what i'm looking for right now...

Hi,
Try these
(vl-load-com) ; This is necessary to ensure the next line works
(setq CurVersionCheck (vlax-product-key))
(if (vl-string-search "ACAD-308" CurVersionCheck) ; 308 is Land Desktop
2005
etc.

I wound up using (findfile "acad.exe") with its path to determine what's
running.
