Stretch command with preview of pt2

The below test code doesn't show the new location of pt2 where the cursor is.

Anyone know how to get it to work. DRAGMODE varaible is set to ON.

(defun c:test (/ rec1 rec2)

 (setq rec1 (getpoint "select first "))
 (setq rec2 (getcorner rec1 "select second"))

 (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nSelect Base Point : "))
 (setq pt2 (getpoint pt1 "\nSelect Second Point : "))


 (command "stretch" "c" rec1 rec2 "" "_non" pt1 "_non" pt2)

 )

Why would it show anything? You're just setting some coordinates and then the command runs 'instantly'. So the 'preview' part you would normaly see when performing the STRETCH command is not shown.

I wonder what the purpose of this lisp is, it does nothing extra that the STRETCH command itself doesn't do allready.

The way i use the stretch command is enter 'S' for stretch. Then i select what i want to stretch and click a start and end point. No need for the R(ectangle) action.

It's a stripped down version of the code I'm having trouble with. I'm not trying to reinvent the stretch command, all I need to know is. Is it possible to modify that code to show where pt2 is.

(command "stretch" "c" rec1 rec2 "" "_non" pt1 "_non" pause)

?

And remove the SETQ part for PT2

E: Tested and seem to work . 'pause' in a lisp code means manual input, in case you need to know what it does.

(command "stretch" "c" rec1 rec2 "" "_non" pt1 "_non" pause)

Unfortunately, I cannot use the pause here. it needs to retain the pt2 and setvar pt2.
