How to start a Skill file from Allegro command line

Can someone help me learn how to start a skill file i dnloaded from this forum, form the allegro command line. Please give me step by step instructions. So i have the RotateSilkAssyRD.il file I have put it in this location on my computer

and this is my allegro.ilinit file in C:\Cadence\SPB_16.5\share\pcb\etc\skill

;FPM_BEGIN

load("c:/FPM/util/fform.il" "")

load("c:/FPM/util/gridsa.il" "")

load("c:/FPM/util/qview.il" "")

load("c:/FPM/util/cot.il" "")

load("c:/FPM/util/boundaryview.il" "gds")

load("c:/FPM/util/scalpel.il" "")

load("c:/FPM/util/conv.il" "")

load("c:/FPM/util/align_sym.il" "")

load("c:/FPM/util/hlvia.il" "")

load("C:\Allegro_Skill_setup\Skill\RotateSilkAssyRD.il")

;FPM_END

and I entered RotateSilkAssyRD in the command line and got this error

Skill > RotateSilkAssyRD
E- *Error* toplevel: undefined variable - RotateSilkAssyRD
