OK. So while we are at it: will you please also stop  to  top/post  /
full  quote?  Please  read the netiquette (ideally *before* posting).
See for example http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Please, what exactly do you mean by "proprietary" here? I  guess  you
want to express something different...

And  no,  environment  variables  are  one  thing,  and  scripts  are
something  different.  Think  of  a  shell  script  - it is something
different to a shell variable, even though a shell variable  (like  a
U-Boot  environment  variable)  can be used to store commands or even
command sequences.

In  U-Boot,  a  script  is  an  image  of  type  "script"  (surprise,
surprise!) which gets executed using the "autoscr" command.

And if you had read the manual, or just searched it for "script", you
wouldn't have wasted our time.

Yes, this would be a very useful  extension,  as  it  would  probably
include  a  number  or  other  useful things as well. But I guess you
probably underestimate the required effort.

Best regards,
