Ok,

Looks like things start to go awry after:
Plot paper space first? [Yes/No] <No>:

Try putting an extra carriage return there, and re-run, see if it goes any further.

On the other hand, it seems that your prompts are different than mine, I highly recommend you to work through the -PLOT command at least once manually typing in each command, then generate your script out of that (using the Command Capture Utility in the "Tools" menu.

This is standard "debugging" of scripts, so it might take a few tries, but you will get the idea, and be able to figure out what is going on.
