The best advice I can give is EXPERIMENT. It's dangerous sometimes, but you just have to sacrifice that to learn. Get CogWriter; it has a list of most of jk's cog commands. Look through LEC's cogs (start with simpler ones) and try to understand what's going on. Most of their cogs have comment lines, so it's a little easier to understand. There's a good chance you'll crash your level and/or freeze your system this way, so ALWAYS SAVE YOUR LEVEL before testing a cog, especially when you're new to it.

Forget CogWriter. Its buggy, slow, and useless. Use CogPad (http://home.insightbb.com/~gbk/CogPad2.zip) instead. http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif
