Using 'current script name' in a script

Is there a Native Variable or something similar that would allow me to use the name of the currently running script inside that script?
Specifically, what I want to do is to name a log file something to the tune of: <scriptname>.log

This is just a question, it shouldn't be posted in the script section. . .

Sorry about posting in the wrong place
Dummie move.
And thank you HighEnd for the somewhat cryptic answer that taught me another scripting command
I really appreciate that

Okay, I remember when I first started using XY, I looked for the scripts I needed in the script section. It will be difficult for new users looking for scripts unless they specify search terms... Other forums' script sections only allow script posting.
