If you didn't already understand that this is for the turtle, it is.
the title says what it does, it mines a 3x3 hole the way its facing for as long as you set it to. (long = blocks, not a timer)
i did a rewrite of the whole script using functions and more loops.
should be a bit better now i think />/>
now it can handle more sand and gravel too, and returns to starting position when done

print "input lenght of the 3X3 tunnel"
n2 = io.read()
n1 = 0
n2 = tonumber(n2)
n3 = 0
shell.run("clear")
while true do
shell.run("clear")
print ("turtle will stop when the number reaches zero: "..n2)
print ""
print "or if theres no more space in turtle's inventory"

Hope you like it!

Looks nice, but I'd advice you to try to put the whole digging part in the middle in a separate loop or a function. It'd make your code a little bit tidier and nicer.

Nice, I am a shaft miner using redpower and computercraft so this is a great script for my automated mine.
