Hi,

I was asked at the last session to re-examine the Script MIB
and determine if the enhancements I proposed in the SEE I-D
could be added to the smLaunchTable and smRunTable, rather
than replacing these tables with the seeTaskControlTable.

After much enlightenment from the Script MIB authors, 
I think the existing tables can be used, without
deprecating any Script MIB objects. I had misunderstood
the complete semantics of the smLaunchStart and smLaunchControl
objects. There are no restrictions directly related to
manual script invocation.  There are some technical
issues to solve in order to utilize the smRunIndex
as a task ID instead of the seeTaskControlIndex,
but nothing major.  In addition, the notifications
in the Script MIB can be used directly, so the SEE
notifications can be removed.
