: The following line added to the front of your Applesoft BASIC program
: will save it in a Text file named "LISTFILE". It works in DOS 3.3 or
: ProDOS.

: 0 HOME:PRINT CHR$(4)"OPEN LISTFILE": PRINT CHR$(4)"WRITE LISTFILE":
: POKE 33,33: LIST 1,: PRINT CHR$(4)"CLOSE": END

: From there it is just a matter of transferring the text file to your
: Mac.

Caveat:  Make sure you're looking at a 40-column text screen before you
run this.  I always suggest the following variant:

0 PRINT CHR$(21):HOME:POKE 33,33:PRINT CHR$(4);"OPEN LISTFILE":PRINT
CHR$(4);"WRITE LISTFILE":LIST 1,63999:PRINT CHR$(4);"CLOSE":TEXT:END

(The PRINT CHR$(21) shuts down the 80-column display if it is active, and
the TEXT negates the effect of the POKE 33,33)
