*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

First of all, I don't think you can wish for more than one thing on the same
line. Secondly I think you want 3 scrolls of bless weapon. The "enchant" is 
only for armor. The baddies are damage weapon and destroy armor. Aside from all
that why would you want to wish for bless weapon or enchant armor when you 
could simply wish for 3 +3 crysknives or +3 plate mail or if you have that
how about +3 elven cloak or helmet etc. It seems from your article that this
has happened to you many times ... I'm still waiting for my first wand of 
wishing.

Works fine for me. Make sure that you don't have any extra spaces or control
characters in the line.

"Comment, Spock?"
"Very bad poetry, sir."

I understand the idea of asking for a scroll properly ('bless' vs 'enchant'),
but here's one - can you ask for a scroll you've already used by asking
for what you've called it?  what I mean is that suppose I had used the
scroll of bless weapon and decided to call it Foo Bar.  Can I wish for
'n scrolls of Foo Bar,' or do I have to give the proper name for the scroll?

Yes- if you call a scroll of anything "a scroll called foobar", you can
use a wand of wishing like so: "3 scrolls called foobar."
