Yes but it's hardly nicely integrated in Chandler in a nice and easy to 
use way. I was more thinking along the line of Donn's CPIA Script, 
seeing this command-line as one way of typing such scripts. When he 
talked about it early on there was this big controversy about using 
Python for the language or not and we ended up using Python. I think 
that the same logic will eventually apply here.

True. May be we should come up with such a command set first then see if 
there's need for enough language elements (loops, conditions, etc...) 
that it warrants using a language.
