     You LIST the program to a TEXT file. One way is to LOAD the 
program and add a line to the end of the program such as the one 
shown below: 

9999 PRINT CHR$(4)"OPEN NOOP": PRINT CHR$(4)"WRITE NOOP": LIST: PRINT 
CHR$(4)"CLOSE":END


     Then, you RUN 9999. This will save a listing of the program to a 
TEXT file named "NOOP". (The listing will include Line 9999. You can 
delete the line later on, after the program is transferred to 
QBASIC.)

     Note that it does not, usually, matter where you add the Line 
which LISTs the program to a TEXT file, so long as no current program 
Line is overwritten. The reason for sticking it at the end is that it 
is easy to find and delete later on.

     After the TEXT file named "NOOP" (or whatever it's called) is 
transferred to the PC, you just start QBASIC and load in NOOP. NOOP 
can, then, be edited to fit QBASIC and the PC.
