equivalent to refresh padstack for SKILL

I've written a SKILL program that update a number of padstacks and are looking for a function like "refresh padstacks" to refresh all padstacks from the library.

I tried embedding script generation and execution into the SKILL code but keep getting an error message about form.rf_pad not found although this is the name of the form.

tmp_file = axlDMOpenFile("ALLEGRO_SCRIPT", "./refreshpadstack", "w")
fprintf(tmp_file "scriptmode +i +n +w +c\n")
fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
fprintf(tmp_file "refresh padstack\n")
fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow form.rf_pad\n")
fprintf(tmp_file "FORM rf_pad all_padstacks YES\n")
fprintf(tmp_file "FORM rf_pad execute\n")
fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow form.rf_pad\n")
fprintf(tmp_file "FORM rf_pad cancel\n")
fprintf(tmp_file "setwindow pcb\n")
axlDMClose(tmp_file)
axlShell("replay ./refreshpadstack")
when(isFile("./refreshpadstack.scr") deleteFile("./refreshpadstack.scr"))

Best regards

Newer mind, I did to much copy and paste from another program, I forgot to remove +i from the the scriptmode line.

So problem is solved although I would still prefer a real axl command over scripting.
