Here eat this, lineater!

I've been using Sksh for some time now.  I'd like to write a script
called format that takes two arguments

eg:              format df1: Data1

The script should call the AmigaDos format command like

format drive df1: name Data1 noicons

My script file contained the following line.

Format drive %1 name %2 noicons

The system crashes every time.  What am I doing wrong?

I just got the new Vlt.  Has a way been found to drop the DTR line
through a script file yet.  I really want to do this real real bad.
Isn't there a way to send the keycodes of <A>H through the script file.
I don't have AREXX so I couldn't do it from there.

Help.
Thanks folks,
Bin
