Expect script issue

This is my expect script .
Code:
set USERNAME  [lindex $argv 1]
set PASSWD  [lindex $argv 2]
set IP [lindex $argv 0]
set timeout 15
spawn telnet $IP
expect "login:"
send "$USERNAME\r"
expect "Password:"
send "$PASSWD\r"
expect "Password:"
send "$PASSWD\r"
expect "*\>"
send "show version\r"
expect "*\>"
send "quit\r"

ouput of it

Code:
spawn telnet 1.1.1.1
Trying 1.1.1.1...
Connected to 1.1.1.1
Escape character is '^]'.
XXX-RT01 (ttyp1)
login: usr
Password:
--- JUNOS 7.6R3.6 built 2006-11-03 04:29:11 UTC
XXX-RT01>

The question is that when it telnets to the device successfully.It will stop on the line "XXX-RT01> " ; why it can't continue to execute the command "show version" on the device.

lrange(n)						       Tcl Built-In Commands							 lrange(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
lrange - Return one or more adjacent elements from a list SYNOPSIS
lrange list first last _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
List must be a valid Tcl list. This command will return a new list consisting of elements first through last, inclusive. The index values | first and last are interpreted the same as index values for the command string index, supporting simple index arithmetic and indices rela- | tive to the end of the list. If first is less than zero, it is treated as if it were zero. If last is greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list, then it is treated as if it were end. If first is greater than last then an empty string is returned. Note: "lrange list first first" does not always produce the same result as "lindex list first" (although it often does for simple fields that are not enclosed in braces); it does, however, produce exactly the same results as "list [lindex list first]" EXAMPLES
Selecting the first two elements: % lrange {a b c d e} 0 1 a b Selecting the last three elements: % lrange {a b c d e} end-2 end c d e Selecting everything except the first and last element: % lrange {a b c d e} 1 end-1 b c d Selecting a single element with lrange is not the same as doing so with lindex: % set var {some {elements to} select} some {elements to} select % lindex $var 1 elements to % lrange $var 1 1 {elements to} SEE ALSO
