I want to test out the code, and I can copy it, but when I paste it into the Shell, everything is all screwed up because of the indentation. Every time I paste in any kind of code, it seems like everything is immediately left-justified, and then nothing works.

try cat >testfile , paste in and type ^D or use a graphical text editor to paste the code
in.
