Maya not finding script

#1

Saved a mel script in Maya 2016 with this path-> C:\Users\John Grivas\Documents\maya\2016\prefs\scripts
See screen shot. It is a simple script , creates one blade of grass.
The name of the procedure is grass;
I have a mel button on the shelf : source grass;
grass;

Maya Still can’t find the file.
I tried putting the mel file
in every script file possible,
still nothing. I’ve gotten the path
I mentioned above to work on another
file, but not this one. ???

First thing to check is the name of the mel script. What is the exact name of the file? For this to work the way you posted that file must be called “grass.mel”.

Another thing could be that you need to reestart Maya before it recognize any new script that you put in the path,
