  I am trying to transfer data from an text file (created via Appleworks)
to a file for use in BusinessWorks, which denotes the end of a field
by setting the MSB of the last character.  Applesoft seems to automatically
turn off the MSB.  Is there any easy way of bypassing that?

  (It's a quick and dirty problem and I hate to get involved with Assembler
for it.)
