It was just a thought.  I figured that's why we had CPUs... to automate those mundane tasks and "hitting enter a few more times".  On the other hand I can see how a bunch of little scripts can become clutter.  Perhaps when I get a chance, I'll build one and submit it.  Even if its not added I suppose I can just use it myself.
