The undocumented keystrokes (script = M-*) are in scripts-kbd.scm:

(kbd-map
  ("C-return" (script-eval))
  ("A-return" (script-approx))
  ("script *" (make 'script-eval))
  ("script !" (make-script-input))
  ("script =" (toggle-keep-input))
  ("script $" (toggle-eval-math))
  ("script l" (insert-go-to '(converter-eval "latex" "") '(1 0)))
  ("script L" (insert-go-to '(converter-input "latex" "" "") '(1 0)))
  ("script h" (insert-go-to '(converter-eval "html" "") '(1 0)))
  ("script H" (insert-go-to '(converter-input "html" "" "") '(1 0))))

These work for interfaces which can be used as scripting languages
(see the Document -> Scripts menu). The script l/L and script h/H
can be used for conversions from other formats (all input formats
are supported; simply change the field 'latex' or 'html' into
something else). Unfortunately, eukleides cannot be used as a format,
nor as a scripting language, for the time being.
