Very cool, and yet simple script!  I've seen a bunch of requests for something like this lately!

EDIT: Hehe, I posted 15 miliseconds before Zero2008.

Thanks man! I've been wanting this script for a long time.
But is it possible to put a little bit of wait time before playing the SE?

It can be done pretty easily if you are willing to use Zeriab's Scheduler.

Make sure that you include the part that binds it to Graphics.update. Once you do that, then replacing the script with the following code will allow you to set the delay for as long as you like:
