Yes. I did tell CiderPress to do this (I actually named the file
<filename>.bas and it picked it up as a BASIC file, but, it still mangled
the first line of my code. Now, in the text file, I also have line number
(shouldn't be a problem).
When I execute the file in applesoft it really doesn't work as expected,
because of the mangling. That's really where my beef is.
