suckless' terminal emulator already uses the name st, though it's not quite popular enough to be in any major repos.

Thanks for the information!

I wanted to use "stat", but it was already used (display file status); "statistics" was too big.

Just as curiosity, I got the idea for this script when I wanted to calculate the sum of some numbers and discovered that the "sum" command was used for another purpose (display file checksums and block counts)!

sta seems to be available
