Unfortunately, you need BASICA to do this, and the original poster stated
that BASICA wasn't available.

You might try to locate a copy of GWBASIC, which is a stand-alone version of
BASICA.  (BASICA depended on BASIC in ROM in true-blue IBM machines; the
clones don't have BASIC in ROM.)
GWBASIC came with non-IBM DOS versions up to 3.3.
