Batch save Python script on a Mac

I'm trying to write a batch open and save script in Python to run on a Mac. I'd like it to open and saveas (or export) files automatically without input from the user. The best I can get it to do is bring up the open file dialog box. At that point the user has to select a file to open and hit enter. The Command() function is supposed to be able to take an argument specifying the file path but this doesn't seem to work on a Mac. Does anybody have any ideas?

`import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import os

def BatchSaveAs():
#Get folders
folder = rs.BrowseForFolder(message = "Select folder to process")
if not folder: return

saveFolder=rs.BrowseForFolder(message = "Select folder to save files")
if not saveFolder: return

found = False ; counter = 0 ;
for filename in os.listdir(folder):
    if filename.endswith(".STEP"):
        found = True ; counter += 1
        fullpath = os.path.join(folder,filename).lower()
        rs.EnableRedraw(False)
        #Close the current file
        rs.DocumentModified(False)
        rs.Command("_-New _None",False)

        #Open file to convert
        rs.Command ("_-Open " + folder + "_Enter")
        comm="_-SaveAs"
        rs.Command(comm + chr(34) + saveFolder + chr(34) + ".3dm" + "_Enter")

if not found:
    print "No .STEP files found in selected folder!"
else:
    print "{} files converted to 3dm format".format(counter)

#open a blank document to finish
rs.DocumentModified(False)
rs.Command("_-New _None",False)
rs.EnableRedraw(True)

BatchSaveAs()`
