I guess you’re typing “set mode meta” and “can mode meta” before and after your script? (This creates a files called metafile.plt, which you convert to .ps with Fprint)….?
The hanging may have something to do with the call to ppl shakey. There is a long-standing issue where this fails for some scripts (why? who knows!). On a Mac, I find this is is when I ask it to label each increment with no decimal places (“1”
and “(-0)” for the 4th and 5th arguments).
It’s not an ideal solution, but I would suggest experimenting with your ppl shakey call.
E.g. replace
PPL SHAKEY 1, 0, 0.15, 0, 3, 11, -8, 4, 0.60, 0.85
with
PPL SHAKEY 1, 0, 0.15, 1, 3, , -8, 4, 0.60, 0.85
