Okay, I tested with gforth 0.6.2, and everthing is fine.
Furthermore, it doesn't have the problem with pasted tabs that
pfe does, even though it also uses tab autocompletion. So I'm
guessing that gforth's autocompletion inserts whitespace into
the terminal input buffer while pfe's doesn't.
Looks like I should consult the pfe source.
As for gforth, while the above simple paste works in 0.5.0, my
more comprehensive tests do not. They do work in 0.6.2, and not
in 0.6.9. Somehow I don't have a record of from whence I got
0.6.9 -- maybe there's some conflict between its build and my
updated Leopard system...
