[Coco] stupid question, but the manual doesn't say

That is, unfortunately,  how it works. Shell scripts can't get command-line arguments.

Not directly anyway.  You can play some games with shell+'s internal vars. There are some shellsub modules that can assist but it's still not the real thing.

Subject [Coco] stupid question, but the manual doesn't say 
 
I have a shell script that I want to pass a value to. If I type the
script-file name and press enter, then enter the value I want, everything
is good, but if I type the script-file name with the value as a parameter,
I get a bad pathname error (215). To recap:

OS9:script-file
value

works.

OS9:script-file value

bad pathname

What is the correct form? Below is my script-file.

var.1
del %1Raw.txt
del %1Lines.txt
del %1Vars.txt
del %1VDT.txt
del %1DSAT.txt
del %1.B09
