     If you do not have any program lines numbered lower than 2, you can add this
line to the front of your program ...

1 HOME:PRINT CHR$(4)"OPEN PGMTEXT": PRINT CHR$(4)"WRITE PGMTEXT": 
  LIST 2,: PRINT CHR$(4)"CLOSE": END 

and type in RUN. The program will be listed into a Text file named "PGMTEXT".


     The line can be placed at the end of a program, too; say, at Line 9999.
Then, you could RUN 9999 to create the Text file. Line 9999 would be included;
so, you would need to snip it off in your Text editor to have just your original
program.
