   Pretty simple; just 'list' the program to a file. For example, add
this line to the start of a program, then run it. It'll create a text
file on disk with the pure ascii form of the program.

1 D$=CHR$(4):PRINT D$"OPEN LISTING.TXT":PRINT D$"WRITE LISTING.TXT":
  POKE 33,33: LIST 2,63000: PRINT D$"CLOSE":END

   (This is all one line, despite my break in the middle. The listing
is written to the file 'LISTING.TXT' (note that it must be specified
twice), which you can then upload to IBM).
