	Uh, I don't see how your comment fits into the argukment.  I assume
you are thinking of the following line:

	Format drive DF0: name "MyDisk"

	And while MyDisk doesn't have a colon in it, one should also note that
the reference is not to a volume anyway, but the naming of a disk which has 
yet to exist (i.e. it will eventually become a volume).  Besides, Format 
is a *very* specialized and special-case command.

	Come on, Give me a break!
