When I create a shell script how do I pass parameters to it? For example, if I want to create a directory based on a name I pass to the program with a shell script called mkmine the command would look like "mkmine Mydir" and this would create a directory called "Mydir" would the script simply be mkdir %1 ? if I wanted it to create a directory based on a name I give it and the current month would it be mkdir %1 & date %m ?
