lisp will load but not able to run

[sthompson1021]

I downloaded a free lisp routine from Tee Square Graphics for extracting hatch pattern files but I can't get it to run. It loads with no problem but when I type in the command GETPAT it returns with unknown command. I running 2017. Any ideas

Try add
;|
as the first line of the file.

I missed that when I copied the file. Works good now but I can't figure out where its saving the .pat file too. Any idea on that?

(findfile outf)

A string that specifies the name and extension of the file to be opened. If you do not specify the full path name of the file, open assumes you are referring to the AutoCAD default drawing directory.

My GETPAT loads and runs, but when I execute the command and select a hatch, I get a "Bad Argument" error.  This used to be a fabulous lisp routine.  How do I fix it?
