2010 allows the layer manager to remain open and dynamically control layer attributes. Shortcuts for layers are pretty simple to write scripts for. -LA is the command shortcut for layer manager. A good way to develop scripts is to toggle off dialog boxes using FILEDIA <0>. This lets you run command line commands that would otherwise cause dialogs to open. I use a couple of simple scripts to create a bunch of preformatted layers for manipulating CAD Xrefs received from architects, lighting designers, etc. I have one that saves the current file as an older file format compatible with Visio import and then closes the file.
Anyway, I'm probably preaching to the choir.
