Notes

The command will return the a base64, UTF-8 encoded string representing the script source code passed to the data parameter.
The string returned by the command can be decoded in LSL using llBase64ToString.
This command does not work around the grid permission system and therefore cannot retrieve the source code of a script that does not belong to the bot itself.
This command is radar-bound.
