Perhaps you already discounted this approach, but just in case...

Terminal.app has the ability to save a window, or a complete set of
windows, to a file.  This file can be opened at a later time and all
settings will be restored.

If you save a single window you can also specify a command to run when
the *.term file is reopened.  If you save a set of windows, I don't
think that's an option, BUT you would at least have a predictable set
of windows at which you could direct subsequent AS directives.

Apologies for not directly addressing you questions, but I thought
maybe this would be an easier route.
