The REDIRECTs that are made are saved in a persistent file named LWPATH.NAM.
In order to use different REDIRECTs, your scripts would need to create
different versions of LWPATH.NAM. The only way I can think of doing this
when running multiple scripts from the same account is to create multiple
directories in that account and have each conversion script instance
cd to that directory and do a REDIRECT ADD LWPATH.NAM for that directory
and then setup the REDIRECTs desired.
redirect.k ADD LWPATH.NAM \".
redirect.k ADD ALL \"<directory> <- fill-in the appropriate info for
directory location
This may be a bit tricky to get correct.

I understand. Please let me know how this approach works for you. I
am in a 2.5 hour meeting starting at 9 am, so I will not be getting
back to you quickly on this.
Cheers,
Tom
