A good function to use for the beginning scripter is the search text function in the main TESCS edit menu. You can use it to search scripts, e.g. for a specific function you would like to use and want to find sample scripts for.
You can also use any text-editor, or the alternative scripting editors listed below for editing your scripts and copy / paste the script to and from the TES CS editor using ctrl-c / ctrl-v.
To make a copy of a script you want to change, don't just change the name, this will just overwrite the old script. Instead copy the original script (ctrl-a, ctrl-c) start a new script and paste the old one in (ctrl-v) now rename the script and change what you need.
