Well ASCSAVE.BIN has proved to be an interesting but frustrating 
program. It does convert Dragon Basic files to ascii but does not place 
any line endings between any of the Basic lines. The entire saved file 
is one long text line.

Guess I'll have to disassemble the program and see if $0Ds can be added 
to the end of each line.
