Creating/Editing a Mikrotik RouterOS Script

Creating a new script:

[admin@mikrotik] > /system script add name=my_script source=""

List the script number (needed for the edit command):

[admin@mikrotik] > /system script print brief where name=my_script
Flags: I - invalid 
 #   NAME                                        OWNER                                       LAST-STARTED          RUN-COUNT
 4 I my_script                                   admin                                                                     0

Edit the script:

[admin@mikrotik] > /system script edit 4 source

Note that this invokes a full-screen editor that accepts some very basic EMACS commands
When finished, Ctrl-o saves and quits the editor
