Actually, with most BASIC interpreters for the IBM, you can save a file
in ASCII format (which is what Turbo Basic requires, as well as Microsoft
QuickBasic, and Microsoft Basic, and...).  This is done by typing

	SAVE "FOO",A

where you substitute your filename for FOO.  Unless you want to write over
your old program, you should pick a different filename.
