Extruder calibration

I'm trying to calibrate my extruder using pronterface. I can connect to my printer fine, but when I send any command other than m503 it just sits there. I tried to send m92 exxx.xx for example and it just says 'sending:m92 exxx.xx'. It doesn't give me the OK. If I try to write it with m500 and check with m503, it hasn't changed the value. I updated my firmware to the latest with the same results. Any ideas?

If only it was that simple. I did that, i'm just a lazy typist sometimes. After I posted, I went back and tried a few more times, same results, but this time when I ran the M503 command it showed the results had took. This only happened after I ran the new PID calibration. Not sure why that is? but the settings took, it just wont send an echo after an M92 or M500 command. Just says 'SENDING' and the command I send. Could the connection baud rate be the culprit?
