Making the transition from S-Control page to snippet, or at least not loading a page

I have an S-Control that mimics the functionality of a roll-up summary field for a lookup rather than a Master/Detail relationship.  I'd like the option of being able to call it from a couple of locations, which suggests making it a snippet, or at minimum being able to run it without an interim page load - if it can run and then refresh the page when it's completed, that's all that's required.
 
If it were contained in a snippet, then I could use an 'Execute Javascript' button to pass it the parameter I need, or slip the call into the end of another process as long as I passed in the correct initial Id, correct?
 
Here is the entirety of the S-Control - it's mostly functions, but there are a few variables and includes (or what will be includes, I presume) that would need updating.
I have the cookbook, but I don't see it going into the detail of making this transition.  Any and all help would be appreciated.
