   copying and pasting from pdf to Forth

   Yesterday, I learned a good lesson to not copy and paste text from a pdf   
   into the Forth environment. There can be hidden characters when doing   
   so, and then a word fails because the input isn't correct.   
      
   For an hour or so I was chasing down an imaginary bug in the   
   (non-standard) word NUMBER? used to convert a counted string into a   
   signed double length number.
