 I ran into the same problem.  I FTP'ed the APP385 files to a
TOPS-20 Host and checked them... Looked good.  I downloaded
them and SYNTAX error was the word for the day when I EXEC'ed
the files.  

  With the help of some "Beagle Bros" utilities, I found CTRL-J's
in the first couple of char. of each line.  (Someone droped me
a note saying that that could be the problem, and I'am still
not sure where they came from).

  One way to get rid of the little devels is to download the
files using KERMIT protocol.  Do to the "catch-22" of this 
fix, I haven't tried it yet.  The other fix is to use a 
"Line Feed" striper to remove the excess CTRL-J's.  I used
the striper that is built into "Point-to-Point".  This cleared
the SYNTAX when EXEC'ed the files (DOS 3.3 not ProDOS).  The
resulting program ran well once I got the program to talk
to my AE Serial Pro card.  

Hope this might help out your problem.
