No you haven't, you just haven't read the manual, which explains how
script programming works.

Because you are using the wrong commands. If you had read the manual,
you would know that the CONNECT command *connects* your keyboard and
screen to the remote host, suspending executing of any script (command
file or macro) until the CONNECT command terminates, i.e. until you
escape back or the remote host breaks the connection.
Don't use CONNECT in a script program unless that's what you want.
If you want your script program to interact with the remote host or
service, omit the CONNECT command and use INPUT and OUTPUT commands
instead.
Please read the manual before posting more questions like this.
Thanks.
