When ${script} is used in the launch tab configuration, it is assumed to be local, so would expand to the local path of the script.

Copying the script from the local to the staged directory would take place automatically using the remote information obtained from the RM instance.

I'm not sure there's any general conversion, and even if you came up with something, a user is bound to want to do something different :-)
