It's unnecessary. That could make an interesting tutorial but as Dave mentioned, you would probably be better off running the 'in' command in interactive mode where it asks/explains everything it prompts you for. Then you don't need to spell everything out after the fact -- it's part of the command transcript. The existing Volume II MGED tutorial covers the 'in' command in detail in Lesson 3. You might want to take a look at that first before working out how to make things better. Cheers!
