   I recommend that you read the Applesoft Basic Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ) at http://www.visi.com/~nathan/a2/faq/asoft.html which
covers this and many more questions. From the Applesoft prompt, "PR#1"
sends (no"s) will redirect output to whatever's in slot 1, then you
can LIST and finally "PR#0" (or #3 if you want the 80-column display)

   Assuming you have DOS 3.3 or ProDOS loaded, tack this line of code
on to the beginning of that file and run the program. It'll create a
file on disk with name 'ASOFT.LISTING'; replace the two occurrances of
that name below to write to something else.

1 D$=CHR$(4): PRINT D$"OPEN ASOFT.LISTING": PRINT D$"WRITE
ASOFT.LISTING" : POKE 33,73: LIST : PRINT D$"CLOSE": TEXT: END

[That's all one line, despite being formatted here]
