iminsert in script

You would think at least one of these syntax would work. The program "runs" but produces no output; I can use iminsert from the command line with no problem.

procedure preparetofft
begin

#iminsert (input1 = "zeros.fits", input2 = "test.fits[1:125,1:125]", output = "prepared.fits", option = "replace", coordfile = "starts/lltour.txt")

#iminsert "zeros.fits" "test.fits[1:125,1:125]", "prepared.fits", option = "replace", coordfile = "starts/lltour.txt"

#iminsert input1 = "zeros.fits", input2 = "test.fits[1:125,1:125]", output = "prepared.fits", option = "replace", coordfile = "starts/lltour.txt"

#iminsert zeros.fits, test.fits[1:125,1:125], prepared.fits, option = replace, coordfile = starts/lltour.txt
#iminsert zeros.fits test.fits[1:125,1:125] prepared.fits replace starts/lltour.txt

iminsert zeros.fits test.fits[1:125,1:125] prepared.fits replace "starts/lltour.txt"

end

Hi,

The syntax looks ok, assuming any incorrect line wraps are due to posting it. How are you executing it, that is you are declaring it as a task and then calling it by name?

I have no experience with the task and it may be that it should have more diagnostic output.

I'm sorry I can see anything wrong off-hand.

I think its failing because I am using Text Edit. I'm trying to switch to xemacs but having trouble installing it.
