Thanks.

Why actually?

I disagree here. "autoscript" has not much (if any) meaning when it
comes to executing shell scripts (and this is what we are talking
about there). I am not aware of a single man page in any of the many
Unix flavours using this term. [OTOH, it is the name of an existing
company and as such eventually a protected trade mark, at least in
some parts of the world.]

I do. I want to get rid of references to "autoscr" / "autoscript".

Using "script_addr" (and it's variabts) is OK with me.
