I know how all of the normal "hidden" AI scripts work, like "Move Dark Templars to region." However, I am unclear as to what the meanings of things like these could be:
BW Terran 6 - C (Zerg Area Town and buildings)
Terran 3 - Electronic Distribution (Zerg - easy D/easy medium A)
Why is there a Terran script that has to do with a Zerg town? What does Electronic Distribution have to do with anything? There are several other ambiguous names, and having tried some of the out on the races they seem to be oriented towards, they don't always do anything. Is there any known tutorial for the meanings of these obscure AI scripts?
Also, looking in the actual BW maps, there is a unit that is created known as Raszagal, a Dark Templar. However, it appears that every editor patch or program that has Raszagal only has her as a Corsair. Is there any way to use her as a Dark Templar? Just a bonus question?

for the dt thing, hmm, im guessing it has to do with the hero dt named "Dark Templar" and its almost the same as a normal dt.

The best thing you could do is download SCAIEdit and look at them yourselves.

Raszagal in BW Zerg 9 is just a renamed Dark Templar Hero. When her portrait speaks as the wav plays, the DT hero is initially shown (for 10 ms) to send the transmission, so the circle around it flashes. Then Raszagal's actual portrait is displayed. The actual Raszagal is a Corsair, but she's not really in the game as a unit.

The "Move Dark Templars to Region" script turns up in SC Zerg 8, and is ran on destination locations of the escaping Dark Templars. It only contains the command "move_dt", so presumably, you can only use it on Dark Templars.

"BW Terran 6 C" is a Zerg script because the Terrans are fighting against Zerg comps in that mission. The Scripts are named after the missions they turn up in, and then additional information follows about the comp they are run for.

Electronic Distribution is a fancy name for the Starcraft Demo. Those scripts are in the Demo Campaign.

Wow, you really know what you are talking about. Seriously, thanks a lot for the help.

Does this mean that there are possible AI scripts to order specific units to use special abilities?

No. At least there are no AI Script commands that we know of that are capable of such action, and there are definitely no premade scripts containing fully unknown actions.
