When emc shows an error message with a line number, it refers to the physical line number in the file, not an O- or N-number. In emc 2.1, parameters are numbers, not letters. So, for instance, you can't write #D=1.4 you must write #7=1.4 and remember that later on, #7 refers to the o.d.

Hi again, Thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier mailing. As a result and after a considerable rewrite and correction I have now managed to get the script to load - however, it does nothing!! When I hit 'R' or press the play button, the screen flashes briefly and returns to the stop
