MPE 5.5

I wrote a small command which is catalogued for my users, as follows,

addcat src

setvar hpautocont true

errclear

if finfo("!src",0) = TRUE then

   echo Trying to delete catalog !src

   setcatalog !src;delete

   errclear

   echo Trying to append catalog !src

   setcatalog !src;append

   errclear

else

   echo !src does not exist

endif

echo List of current catalogs follows

echo

showcatalog,mgr

*********************************************************

This command (addcat) works fine when run from the comamnd line.
However, if I put a number of these calls into a command file, as
follows,

addcat file1
addcat file2
addcat file3

Only the first call is ever executed (addcat file1). Why would this be?
