Meaning of acronym

Nowhere in the article does it clarify what the acronym "SCRIPT" stands for. It seems that this would be useful information for readers.

Incidentally, all of the citations point to dead links.—Nonstopdrivel (talk)

The cost to purchase the NCPDP Implementation Guides and Data Dictionaries is $650.00. ^[1] Since in 2012 use of SCRIPT will be a government requirement in writing prescriptions for patients eligible for Medicare Part D, publication here of sufficient information on SCRIPT 10.6 to write compliant software would seem to be in the public interest. Would it be lawful to thoroughly and accurately describe this data format in this Wikipedia entrty, avoiding publishing NCPDP's protocol verbatim so as not to violate the copyright?
