I disliked creating the system file before being able to BSAVE it, there is a mod to change Basic.system so this is no longer necessary.  It works with any file type.  You no longer have to create a file with its filetype.

37FF: AE 6A BE AD 56 BE 29 04 D0
3808: 02 A2 06 8E B8 BE 20 4D FF

This works for BS1.4 and should also work for BS1.4.1.

For other versions of Basic.system, look for the sequence of bytes at $37FF in BS1.4 and match them at other locations in other Basic.systems
