That IS one of the options of the Executioner program (convert a BAS
file into a TXT listing file).  After you've converted one file, you have
the option of doing another file.  You will have to type in the name of
each program.  If you're truly organized: 1) copy all the BAS programs to
a separate data disk, 2) use COPY II Plus's RENAME to name the programs
A, B, C, D, E,...etc. 3) QUIT to EXECUTIONER and make short work of the
bunch, 4) use Kermit's wildcard capability to transfer the whole batch :-)
