3. Before pasting the coordinates, type LINE as the first word in the
file (this will launch the Line command when the script is run),
then press [Enter].

4. Now Paste the column of coordinates into the file and you should
see something like that shown in the figure.
5. Close and save the .SCR file (remember where you're saving it).
6. In AutoCAD, launch the SCRIPT command, then navigate to
where you saved your file in the previous step, then select it and
click Open. AutoCAD will launch the Line command then,
beginning at the first set of coordinates entered, will draw line
segments from one point to the next.
You may also want to consider
Replacing the LINE command with the PLINE command.
Adding the word CLOSE as the last word in the script to have the
linework close back to the start point.
Dragging the .SCR file out of Windows Explorer and dropping it
into the drawing window.

Stuck on the prerequisite... How do I get the x-cell and the y-cell
to merge together into one cell that displays as x,y?
My issue is x = 300 y = 200 and when trying to merge them I get
"three hundred thousand two hundred" (300,200.00)
