copying 6502 code from internet

Merlin, my favorite assembler, chokes on code
SHIFT-INSerted into applewin while in the Merlin
editor...  The OP codes, addresses, operands are
on the wrong tabs/horizontal text positions.

I copy 6502 assembler code with control-C from
newsgroups, web pages.  It looks like this:

      lda  asdf                           ;comments are over here
label ora  (var),y                        ;because 6502 code is tough
      jmp  offacliff              ;to read without
      jsr  andontcomeback             ;comments if you don't have hours
                                          ;to decipher it

I paste it into notepad, and do a find/replace.
find "  " (two spaces, just push space bar twice
when in the FIND box), replace with " " (one
space, just push space bar once when in the 
replace with box)  

do this a few times and you end up with:

 lda asdf ;comments are over here
label ora (var),y ;because 6502 code is tough
 jmp offacliff ;to read without
 jsr andontcomeback ;comments if you don't have hours
 ;to decipher it

select all of it, control-c to copy, and then
shift-INSert into applewin with the Merlin editor
running.  

All properly aligned :-)
