This is real easy.  Just open a disk file on the 64, use the CMD
command to direct output to that file, and list the program.

OPEN 2,8,2,"0:FILENAME,S,W"
CMD2:LIST

When everything stops, type 

PRINT#2:CLOSE2

(This is required to make sure the buffer gets cleared and that
everything got put into the file.)

The only oddity of this is that you will end up with a Linefeed and the
message "READY" at the end of the Sequential file (the same stuff you
would get if you had listed to the screen).  Either edit these out
somehow, or ignore them (since they're not Basic keywords, they'll
probably be harmlessly rejected by whatever computer receives
them--plus, since they don't have line numbers, they can't do any
damage to the Basic program anyway.)
