Mmmm, I think the MC-10 does not do ASCII CSAVEs or CLOADs... sadly, if it
did then porting software to/from it would have made things a LOT easier
back in those years. The special variation on CLOAD or CSAVE with the MC-10
allows the user to load or store data files as a numerical array. The only
program (widely distributed as far as a book goes) I ever saw making use of
CLOAD* and CSAVE* was Bill Barden's Word Processor for the MC-10 as found in
his book "TRS-80 Color Computer & MC-10 Programs". This mini word processor
stored 5 full pages of text ->32x15 matrix for a total of 2,400 bytes of
storage if I recall specs correctly.
