A semi-colon between spect and mkfile would make the command(s) work.
Actually there are two commands here, a "cd" to change directory and a
mkfile to make a swapfile in the directory you change to. They can be
typed on separate lines or separated by a semi-colon, the two methods
are equivalent.

And maybe provide better service support - it is ridiculous that a
service engineer spent a day on a problem that should have been dealt
with over the phone - no wonder we always have to wait a few days for a
visit!
