Yes - shift-f9 ... do something ... shift-f9   f9 to playback

You might find the help for what the keys do useful.
From SED menu on icon bar >Help...  Key Bindings

I use LUA (thanks Gavin)
The scripts can be simple or complex. here is a simple one to tidy up 
multiple spaces:

#! lua
-- multiple spaces to one space

for line in io.lines ( arg[1] ) do
  line = line:gsub("%s+"," ")     -- replace n spaces by space
  print (  line  )
end
