Curious to why this isn't doing anything

rednet.open("top",true)
args = {...}

  rednet.send(1, args[1])
  rednet.send(1, args[2])

[CODE]
while true do
rednet.open("right", true)
amount = 0

h = fs.open("recall", "w")
senderId, command = rednet.receive()
senderId, direction = rednet.receive()
if command == "go" and direction == "forward" then
  turtle.forward()
   h.writeLine("forward")
   amount = amount+1
end

if command == "recall" then
  recall()
end
if command == "turn" and direction == "left" then
turtle.turnLeft()
  h.writeLine("left")
  amount = amount+1
elseif command == "turn" and direction == "right" then
turtle.turnRight()
h.writeLine("right")
amount = amount+1
elseif command == "turn" and direction == "backwards" then
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.turnRight()
  amount = amount+1
   h.writeLine("backward")
   end
  
function recall()
	rcl = fs.open("recall", "r")
   if rcl.readLine(amount) == "forward" or rcl.readLine() == "backwards" then
	turtle.turnRight()
	turtle.turnRight()
	 amount = amount-1
   elseif rcl.readLine(amount) == "left" then
	turtle.turnRight()
	amount = amount-1
   elseif rcl.readLine(amount) == "right" then
   turtle.turnLeft()	  
   amount= amount-1
end
end
end
