   Try this. Replace 'LISTING.TXT' with whatever file name you want
it to go to.

1 POKE 33,33: PRINT CHR$(4)"OPEN LISTING.TXT":PRINT CHR$(4)"WRITE LISTING.TXT":
  LIST 2-65000:PRINT CHR$(4)"CLOSE":TEXT:END

   [That's all one line of code; only hit return after the 'END']

   Once typed in, just 'RUN' it and the listing will be written out.
That program works only for Applesoft BASIC programs; if you want to
write out Integer Basic programs, remove the 'CHR$(4)' from each of
the 3 PRINT statements, and replace it with a control-D after the
opening " of each print statement.
