Configure the XT's communications port (COM1) for 75 baud.  Set up the 100 for
75 baud, no flow control. Enter the command COPY COM1:  FILE.TXT on the XT. 
Instruct the 100 to send the text. It will be very slow and you may lose some
characters if the output file is on a floppy; but it's the easiest.

There are many other solutions; most of which involve the use of communications
programs on the XT, since the base system doesn't have any sensible flow control
mechanism.  (When I found out about that, I thought it was criminal!)  I suggest
you go looking for appropriate communications programs.

An XMODEM type of program is available from the Tandy 100 archives.  With that,
and a corresponding XMODEM protocol program on the XT, file transfers should
become easy.   Check also the various incarnations of KERMIT; a version for the
100 is in the archives too.
