Because help is generated as soon as the -help option is tested.

Changed in the next release to set -verbose before -help.

Well .... emboss_format sets the default *input* format. You can still say 
fasta::filename to read fasta format

The output format is specified as emboss_outformat

EMBOSS will read all input formats if you only set emboss_outformat

I think you really mean to say:

set emboss_outformat embl

Hope this helps
