Default Combine three InputBoxes into one?

Using three inputboxes this code works okay. Takes a column from sheet 1 and makes shorter columns on sheet 2

I would like to do two things.

1. Combine all three entries to a single inputbox, say comma delimited.
2. When referring to the source and destination columns use a letter. (Code below uses a letter for Source and a "number - 1" for Destination column.)

Then split the inputboxes entries to the variables.

Where an inputbox entry would look like 10,D,F would be:

10 rows at a time from column D on source sheet column, post to destination sheet starting at column F and to the right. If last column is not a full 10 rows that is ok.

Thanks.
