G2 or G3 command line help

I have been attempting to make a script file to use the G2/ G3 Gcode to print arc segments, circles etc. Here is a sample command series to print a  pair of circles. It does make a circular movement but there is no extrusion accompanied with the command. I am using the header file that is produced by PrusaSlic3r so I do get the nozzle purge  and z height move to in this case z0.200.

G1 X150.000 y105.000
G2 X149.9992 Y104.775 I-30 j0 E0.93484
G1 X145.000 y105.000
G2 X144.999 Y104.775 I-25 j0 E0.77885

Any ideas why no filament is being extruded?

Did you compensate for the retraction?

Just in case capitalization mattered. I can print a line segment no problem now I get no circular movement and no extrusion for the circle commands. There must be a syntax problem but I cant see it I'm going to bed Ill try again tomorrow hopefully someone will steer me in the right direction.

Maybe you use absolute mode for the extruder. Try to reset the extruder position between actions with `G92 E0.0`.
