How do I format a handler in the use-List?

[dunbarx--- via use-livecode]

Try as I might, I cannot format a handler example copied from the SE. The 
result is always run-on, even though I add spaces and returns where 
appropriate. The text seems readable when I send, but reverts to a run-on 
string when I read in the list.
Why is this so much more difficult than the forum?
Is AOL the culprit?
