Yeah.  In DOS 2.0 and 2.5, you can make a  USR call to an undocumented address
in the File Management System.  I don't remember the address right now, but
can mail (or post) the 1 line of Atari BASIC that is required.  You can also
do binary saves with a similar one line routine.  Of course, it isn't very
portable across different DOS's, so use it appropriately.

I will probably post the USR calls tommorow after I find it.  (I still don't
know where any of my software is after moving four months ago :-)  )
