autohotkey

I'm running AutoHotkey 1.0.48.05 on Windows 7.

I have this script:

::sw::
    InputBox, providedString, SVN Switch, Switch the current directory to where?
    if NOT ErrorLevel
    {
        Send svn switch %providedString%{Enter}
    }
Return

So I if type sw{Enter} in PowerShell (or anywhere), I'll be prompted by a text box. Currently that text box is blank.

How can I prepopulate it with a particular string?
