Autocad LT Scripting SAVEAS

I am attempting to write a SAVEAS script for autocad that will save the current drawing with another name and in a new location. Here is where i am at:

 

attdia 0
cmddia 0
filedia 0
dwgcheck 0
pickadd 1
pickauto 0
saveas DXF 16 testing3.dxf
attdia 1
cmddia 1
filedia 1
dwgcheck 1

 

However, when i run this in ACad i am prompted for user input, unless i am mistaken all the needed data to saveas is in the command. What am i missing?

Is the prompt asking if you wish to replace the existing file?

Set EXPERT to 2 or more to suppress this prompt.

It is not asking about replacing a file.

 

Here is what i get:

It looks like that prompt might be accepting spaces as valid characters rather than as an alternative for the enter key. Try starting a new line in your script file after specifying the dxf file format.

That did the trick, thanks so much.
