Suppose you have the following code on an NPC:

  Set var "text1" : This is
  Set var "text2" :  a test.
  Speech "$text1$$text2$",Normal,Self,0,.

Then what you get is the NPC saying "This is a test." Well and good. But if you were to actually paste those commands onto an NPC, they'll come out as

  Set var "text1" : This is
  Set var "text2" : a test.
  Speech "$text1$$text2$",Normal,Self,0,.

and the NPC will say "This isa test.", because the leading space on the variable has been deleted. Trailing spaces are deleted as well. This only happens with variables; the line

  Speech " This is a test.",Normal,Self,0,.

with its leading space pastes without a problem. It also only happens with pasting; the space is copied correctly (and pastes correctly into a text editor).
