I suggest editing your scripts in a file on disk, and the creating the
TSM script artifact with

'def scr [foobar] file=/some/path/foobar.scr'.

The TSM script editing facilities are not worth a fetid load of
dingo's kidneys unless you've happy masochistic memories of ed. I
think this is a fine thing; TSM is a backup program, not a file
editor.

For example, below is my script which defines my scripts. ;)

Below it, in turn, is the script which:
  defines the script which deletes the scripts,   and then
  runs the script which deletes the scripts,      and then
  deletes the script which deletes the scripts.   THEN it
  defines the script which defines the scripts,   and then
  runs the script which defines the script.
