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.

Sounds like a flaw in the PDF - it creates indentation in some way
other than leading spaces/tabs. See if the PDF has a corresponding
file of ready-to-go code, that might save you some trouble.
