format doesn't work as specified in CLtL2 !!!!

	Hello everyone,

	It has been brought to my attention that the format command 
doesn't work as specified in Steele's book.  Specifically, the padding of 
output doesn't work.  Your supposed to be able to tell format what character 
to pad the axtra space with, but kcl breaks at the read loop. 

i.e. the following should work :

>(format "~10,'0d" 89)

Error: The string "~10,'0d" doesn't have a fill-pointer.
Error signalled by FORMAT.
Broken at FORMAT.  Type :H for Help.


	I looked in akcl/c/format.c and found and the padchar is ALWAYS getting
set to ' '.  Any particular reason ?

	Thanks in advance,
	greg
