Sounds like you need to look for another Forth, there are several available for the CoCo.

I have to fill out spaces to the line width, as well. Otherwise, I've
already got a C program and a perl script and a set of tr parameters and a
sed script, ...

And then I have the long program that has never been fit into Forth
screens, doing that under program control is not something I'm looking
forward to. I'll probably have to split some word definitions. That's why
I'd like to be able to copy and paste.

Toolshed is something I need to look closer at, but not for this.

Some Forths. Not mine.
