Toolbar Command

I am have a brain lock and cannot seem to get the SCALE command to work in a toolbar. Trying to Automate scale process.

^c^cscale;\;;\;r;45;60;
It will not enter in the R for reference.

In addition, why does (\ 60 45) return 1?

 

Too many semicolons. A command name or option needs a space or semicolon
after it, but a \ doesn't need that to "register" it. So the first
semicolon after a \ completes the selection set at a single item. And the \
for picking the base point should be followed immediately by the r for the
reference option. Also, a return is supplied at the end without a
semicolon, unless the last character is a control character of some kind, or
unless you need two to finish a command. Try this and see if it works (I
haven't tested it):

^c^cscale;\;\r;45;60

The other one is something I often forget about. When you divide only
"pure" integers, you get an integer result. Make at least one of them a
real number to get a real number result. (And use / instead of \...)

(/ 60.0 45)

^C^C_scale;\;\r;45;60;
(/ 60.0 45.0) For 1.3333
(/ 60 45) For 1

Thanks to both of you for the reply. I was not able to get the toolbar command to work. However, placing the zero after the numbers did the trick. Wrote a quick lisp to automate routine. Go figure, its always the small things. Again thanks.
