I'm following Alan Buxton's tutorial, and am trying to go one step beyond and run it with a single command. but the contract's address and functions are still invisible, even after the contract is mined on my personal testnet, while in the script; however the object is fully populated after the script exits and I'm dropped into the console:

[11, 30]
here is the test script:
loadScript("simple.abi")
loadScript("simple.bin")
console.log("simple.transactionHash: ", simple.transactionHash)
miner.start(2)
admin.sleepBlocks(1)
miner.stop()
console.log("simple.address: ", simple.address)
if (simple.address == undefined) console.log("simple: ", JSON.stringify(simple))
else console.log("simple.aritmethics.call(5, 6): ",
simple.arithmetics.call(5, 6))
could someone please explain why the address and arithmetics attributes aren't available in the script itself, and what I can do about it? thanks.
