Hi Adam and Eric for your further comments!

I had read a bit about the =rx= package but not used it, thanks for the
pointer to =xr=, makes it a lot easier to figure out the syntax.

One more thing I realized is that I can make the desired settings the
defaults within my document, and even automatically wrap all blocks with
the =script= command, by setting the corresponding properties:

#+property: header-args:sh+ :exports output
#+property: header-args:sh+ :results output
#+property: header-args:sh+ :wrap "src console"
#+property: header-args:sh+ :post cleanup(data=*this*)
#+property: header-args:sh+ :prologue "script <<EOF" :epilogue "EOF"

Then I can write plain =#+begin_src sh= blocks and they will produce the
result I want.

I love org and its community - thanks again!

--Diego
