I want to write a script....

I want to automate a task I carry out repetitively. In MS Word I would record a macro, but I guess that is going to be a lot tougher here in Calibre. The tasks I want to automate are:

1. Convert selected in ebooks in current library from RTF to ePub - with global preferences
2. Delete RTF format from selected books
3. Copy Same books to another existing library (always the same one)
4. Convert Same books to Mobi using same preferences
5. Delete epub format from same books
6. "Copy and Delete Afterwards" Mobi to another named Library (always the same one.

I currently have 3 libraries. One for books requiring processing (all in RTF), and then a separate library each for epub and mobi (don't ask why, but there is a reason for that little madness).

How easy would it be for me to write such a script - where do I start? If not native within Calibre, is there a reasonable external macro program avail for Windows?
