Yeah, CRUNCH, TEXTLOAD, and TEXTSAVE spring to mind:

{Cranks up a taskwindow}

>HELP CRUNCH
This command removes specified spaces from the current program.
CRUNCH <expression>. The bits in the number mean:
0: spaces before statements
1: spaces in statements
2: REM statements (except first)
3: empty statements
4: empty lines
>
>HELP TEXTLOAD
This command loads a new program, converting from text form if rqd.
>
>HELP TEXTSAVE
This command saves the current program as text [with a LISTO option].
TEXTSAVE[O <expression>,] <string>

I also believe that Basic 1.05 will CRUNCH 31 any program that was started
up with a *Basic -quit command.

    Cheers, Julian.
